Growing Interesting People Up
I do have friends that are Republicans, and we have very spirited conversations on a whole range of issues. I am often baffled by why they are Republicans, but I enjoy the dialogue and can move beyond politics to find common ground in my personal relationships.

Interesting Over Trust You
To have ego means to believe in your own strength. And to also be open to other people’s views. It is to be open, not closed. So, yes, my ego is big, but it’s also very small in some areas. My ego is responsible for my doing what I do – bad or good.

Believe Mean Strength
The dream – you never achieve it. The excitement of life lies in the hope, in the striving for something rather than the attainment.

I don’t think I’m tough in a so called tough way. I’m tough on myself.
BARBRA STREISAND

Thinking Tough Way
