“What I have learned so far had been an incredible journey and adventure. I remained in my own character even when I was not well liked. I now enter a room looking for people I may like rather than for those who will like me. There are people who change their demeanor between regular people and professional people. Just try to be who you are consistently and let those closest to you see your best, along with those you work with. People around you should not be the cause of change in your personal character.”
― Slave to the Dream: Everyone’s Dream
― Slave to the Dream: Everyone’s Dream
“I learned in therapy the word "No" is a complete sentence.”
