“One reason I can be more tolerant than most is that as a therapist.”

Our success at friendship, business, sports, love–indeed, at nearly every enterprise we attempt–is largely determined by our self-image.

“Focus on your potential instead of your limitations.

Learn, earn, return – these are the 3 phases of life. Jack Balousek

There is no more noble occupation in the world than to assist another human being – to help someone to succeed.

To the contrary, I’ve found that the happiest people have found some cause and they stride through life propelled by a commitment.

And I discover that we rarely if ever see the totality of another in ordinary social intercourse.
