    I like the Churchill quotes I see. There's one of his I met in his book 'My Early Life'. It was something like (this is a good paraphrase): "I am saying this and mark it well, that freewill equals predestination." I stopped and thought about it. It says everything about the man. Someone with that viewpoint is undefeatable. Thank heavens!

      I sometimes still fall into the trap of gauging my success by the material attainments of others. I was a scholarship student at an exclusive private school, and the "trust fund babies" used to really get under my skin.

      This quote by Carrie Fisher snapped me out of the negative envy cycle:


      "Resentment is like drinking poison and waiting for the other person to die."


      One of my all-time favorites.

        Love it. Never heard that quote before, it's really good.

        How did you make it surrounded by a bunch of spoiled trust fund babies?

    "Our greatest glory is not in never falling but in rising every time we fall" -Confucius
    Also just remembered some Chinese Proverbs:
    Even the tallest tower started from the ground.

    A journey of a thousand miles, begins with a single step.

    Man is the Head of the house and the Woman is the neck but the neck always turns the head.
