Experience is what you get when you didn't get what you wanted.
strong book writing
The most difficult part of writing a book is not devising a plot which will captivate the reader. It's not developing characters the reader will have strong feelings for or against. It is not finding a setting which will take the reader to a place he or she as never been. It is not the research, whether in fiction or non-fiction. The most difficult task facing a writer is to find the voice in which to tell the story.
daughter falling-in-love growing-up
But I want her to grow up knowing that I was the first man ever to fall in love with her. I'd always thought the father/daughter thing was overstated. But I can tell you, sometimes, she looks at me and I just become a puddle.
attitude love-you care
You may not want to hear it, but your critics are often the ones telling you they still love you and care about you, and want to make you better.
dream mean kids
Give yourself permission to dream. Fuel your kids' dreams too. Once in a while, that might even mean letting them stay up past their bedtimes.
hard-work today tomorrow
If I work hard enough, there will be things I can do tomorrow that I can't do today.
oxygen mask assisting
Put on your own oxygen mask before assisting others.
wisdom learning important
The questions are always more important than the answers.
loss way profit
There are more ways than one to measure profits and losses.
success tables welcome
Be good at something. It makes you valuable. Have something to bring to the table, because that will make you more welcome.
moving last-lecture hard
It's not how hard you hit. It's how hard you get hit...and keep moving forward.
long evil waiting
Find the best in everybody. Just keep waiting no matter how long it takes. No one is all evil. Everybody has a good side, just keep waiting, it will come out.
engineering perfect limited-resources
Engineering isn't about perfect solutions; it's about doing the best you can with limited resources.
country responsibility talking
We've placed a lot of emphasis in this country on the idea of people's rights. That's how it should be, but it makes no sense to talk about rights without also talking about responsibilities.
