Quote

One of the things I tell young people - and older people too - is that when things don't happen that you want, don't drown in discouragement. We say, Oh, this didn't happen, so nothing good will happen. Don't barricade yourself.

I say to this generation: We must encourage these kids. Tell them they are wonderful and capable. Be their cheerleader. And when they don't get what they want, say, Okay, sweetheart, yours is coming. Let's help you get it. Be there 100% for them.
