Quote by Richard M. DeVos

Life... It tends to respond to our outlook, to shape itself to meet our expectations.

Life... It tends to respond to our outlook, to shape itself

Summary

This quote suggests that our perspective and expectations have a significant influence on the outcomes and experiences we encounter in life. It implies that life can adapt and conform to match the way we perceive and anticipate it. In other words, if we maintain a positive outlook and have optimistic expectations, life is more likely to respond in a positive and fulfilling manner. On the other hand, if we approach life with negativity and expect the worst, it may reflect and react accordingly. Thus, this quote underscores the notion that our mindset and beliefs can play a key role in shaping our reality.

There's full consensus in the military that women shouldn't be in person-to-person combat. I don't know if we have enough experience to know whether this is the right approach. But women can be elsewhere. We have mandatory military service in Chile. I pushed for women in all areas.
