Respect Starts With Ourselves.

Whether Your Focus Is On Preserving And Strengthening Family Ties In A World Of Increasingly Unstable Relationships, Gaining Access To A Decent Job, Growing And Evolving As A Person, Or Guiding A Company Through The Stormy Seas Of A Fiercely Competitive Global Marketplace-whether Your Goals Are Material, Emotional, Or Spiritual-the Price Of Success Is The Same: Thinking, Learning. To Be Asleep At The Wheel-to Rely Only On The Known, Familiar, And Automatized-is To Invite Disaster.

To Preserve An Unclouded Capacity For The Enjoyment Of Life Is An Unusual Moral And Psychological Achievement. Contrary To Popular Belief, It Is Not The Prerogative Of Mindlessness, But The Exact Opposite: It Is The Reward Of Self-esteem.

Out Of Fear, Out Of The Desire For Approval, Out Of The Misguided Notions Of Duty, People Surrender Themselves-their Convictions And Their Aspirations-every Day. There Is Nothing Noble About It. It Takes Far More Courage To Fight For Your Values Than To Relinquish Them.

It Is Very Difficult To Accept In Others Emotions You Cannot Accept In Yourself.

Doing More Of What Doesn't Work Doesn't Work.
