You
(page 23)
My best background is, like, smash opponents. I all the time go forward. I all the time try to take down somebody. Make him give up. This is my style, you know. This is what I do all my life.
It's not what happens to you, but how you react to it that matters.
Style is joyful if you allow yourself to have joy.
None of us are immune to grief, and everyone who has suffered loss understands that grief changes, but you never wake up one morning and you've moved on. It stays with you, and, you know, you ebb and flow.
You can't build a reputation on what you are going to do.
I'm a big believer that your life is basically a sum of all the choices you make. The better your choices, the better opportunity to lead a happy life.
No matter how good you are, at some point your kids are gonna have to create their own independence and think that Mom and Dad aren't cool, just to establish themselves. That's what adolescence is about. They're gonna go through that no matter what.
You can have whatever you want if you believe in yourself and keep your feet firmly planted in the ground.
You cannot look up at the night sky on the Planet Earth and not wonder what it's like to be up there amongst the stars. And I always look up at the moon and see it as the single most romantic place within the cosmos.
Always continue the climb. It is possible for you to do whatever you choose, if you first get to know who you are and are willing to work with a power that is greater than ourselves to do it.
You look at things you enjoy in your life, but much more important is what you can do to make the world a better place.
Hard work pays off — hard work beats talent any day, but if you're talented and work hard, it's hard to be beat.
You're not supposed to be so blind with patriotism that you can't face reality. Wrong is wrong, no matter who says it.
Think you're escaping and run into yourself. Longest way round is the shortest way home.
Your mind will answer most questions if you learn to relax and wait for the answer.
Never look back unless you are planning to go that way.
If you cannot do great things, do small things in a great way.
Once you have an innovation culture, even those who are not scientists or engineers — poets, actors, journalists — they, as communities, embrace the meaning of what it is to be scientifically literate. They embrace the concept of an innovation culture. They vote in ways that promote it. They don't fight science and they don't fight technology.
A little of what you call frippery is very necessary towards looking like the rest of the world.
There's always going to be the circumstances you can't plan for. There's always the unexpected relevance and the serendipity.
