Everything you learn becomes your wealth, 

an unmovable wealth; whether you learn it in 

a school or in life. Learning something new 

is an eternal pleasure and a valuable treasure. 

And not everything you learn is taught to you, 

but many things you realize you have learned yourself.

~ J. JoyBell C ~

“My friends, love is better than anger.

Hope is better than fear.

Optimism is better than despair.

So let's be loving, hopeful

and optimists. And we will change the world.”

~ Jack Layton ~

Listen with curiosity. Speak with honesty. Act with integrity. 

The biggest problem with communication 

is that we don't listen to understand. 

We listen to respond. When we listen with curiosity, 

we do not listen with the intent to respond. 

We listen to what is behind the words.

Roy T. Bennett

Does that diminish my own experience, 

because someone else is having it worse? 

There is always someone with 

a worse life than yours. 

That doesn't make your life 

a road of roses.
