We all need people who will give us feedback. That's how we improve.
Do you remember the things you were worrying about a year ago? How did they work out? Didn't you waste a lot of fruitless energy on account of most of them? Didn't most of them turn out all right after all?
Dale Carnegie

Ernest Hemingway
If only the people who worry about their liabilities would think about the riches they do possess, they would stop worrying.
There are four ways, and only four ways, in which we have contact with the world. We are evaluated and classified by these four contacts: what we do, how we look, what we say, and how we say it.
The royal road to a man's heart is to talk to him about the things he treasures most.
You are merely not feeling equal to the tasks before you.
Criticism of others is futile and if you indulge in it often you should be warned that it can be fatal to your career.
When the heart is dry the eye is dry.
Victor Hugo
If you believe in what you are doing, then let nothing hold you up in your work. Much of the best work of the world has been done against seeming impossibilities. The thing is to get the work done.
Words form the thread on which we string our experiences.
Aldous Huxley
All great men are gifted with intuition. They know without reasoning or analysis, what they need to know.

Remember, nothing in life comes labeled, YOU are the labeler.
Steve Maraboli

A few observation and much reasoning lead to error; many observations and a little reasoning to truth.
Those who dwell among the beauties and mysteries of the Earth are never alone or weary of life.
Rachel Carson
But, first, remember, remember, remember the signs. Say them to yourself when you wake in the morning and when you lie down at night, and when you wake in the middle of the night. And whatever strange things may happen to you, let nothing turn your mind from following the signs. And secondly, I give you a warning. Here on the mountain I have spoken to you clearly: I will not often do so down in Narnia. Here on the mountain, the air is clear and your mind is clear; as you drop down into Narnia, the air will thicken. Take great care that it does not confuse your mind. And the signs which you have learned here will not look at all as you expect them to look, when you meet them there. That is why it is so important to know them by heart and pay no attention to appearances. Remember the signs and believe the signs. Nothing else matters.
C.S. Lewis
No witchcraft, no enemy action had silenced the rebirth of new life in this stricken world. The people had done it themselves.
You have to trust in something - your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life.
Steve Jobs
We stand now where two roads diverge. But unlike the roads in Robert Frost's familiar poem, they are not equally fair. The road we have long been traveling is deceptively easy, a smooth superhighway on which we progress with great speed, but at its end lies disaster. The other fork of the road -- the one less traveled by -- offers our last, our only chance to reach a destination that assures the preservation of the earth.
Youth, which is forgiven everything, forgives itself nothing age, which forgives itself everything, is forgiven nothing.
George Bernard Shaw
You can do what you have to do, and sometimes you can do it even better than you think you can.
Jimmy Carter
America did not invent human rights. In a very real sense... human rights invented America.
When the world goes mad, one must accept madness as sanity since sanity is, in the last analysis, nothing but the madness on which the whole world happens to agree.
We should live our lives as though Christ were coming this afternoon.
I've looked on a lot of women with lust. I've committed adultery in my heart many times.
The idea that you can somehow remain aloof from and superior to the struggle [World War II], while living on food which British sailors have to risk their lives to bring you, is a bourgeois illusion bred of money and security.
George Orwell
We've uncovered some embarrassing ancestors in the not-too-distant past. Some horse thieves, and some people killed on Saturday nights. One of my relatives, unfortunately, was even in the newspaper business.
A vow is a purely religious act which cannot be taken in a fit of passion. It can be taken only with a mind purified and composed and with God as witness.
Mahatma Gandhi
We become not a melting pot but a beautiful mosaic. Different people, different beliefs, different yearnings, different hopes, different dreams.
Reason is a whore, the greatest enemy that faith has; it never comes to the aid of spiritual things, but more frequently than not struggles against the divine Word, treating with contempt all that emanates from God.
Martin Luther King Jr.
A strong nation, like a strong person, can afford to be gentle, firm, thoughtful, and restrained. It can afford to extend a helping hand to others. It's a weak nation, like a weak person, that must behave with bluster and boasting and rashness and other signs of insecurity.
You touch some of the reasons for my going, not for my staying away.
Charles Dickens
Our decision about energy will test the character of the American people and the ability of the President and the Congress to govern this Nation. This difficult effort will be the moral equivalent of war, except that we will be uniting our efforts to build and not to destroy.
Unseen University was much bigger on the inside. Thousands of years as the leading establishment of practical magic in a world where dimensions were largely a matter of chance in any case had left it bulging in places where it shouldn't have places. There were rooms containing rooms which, if you entered them, turned out to contain the room you'd started with, which can be a problem if you are in a conga line.
Terry Pratchett
Never trust a man who speaks well of everybody.
John Churton Collins
A wise man thinks what is easy is difficult.
By starving emotions we become humorless, rigid and stereotyped; by repressing them we become literal, reformatory and holier-than-thou; encouraged, they perfume life; discouraged, they poison it.
Joseph Collins
It was as if the main screw in his head, which held his whole life together, had become stripped. The screw would not go in, would not come out, but turned in the same groove without catching hold, and it was impossible to stop turning it.
Leo Tolstoy
