Experience is not the best teacher. Other people's experience is the best teacher.
Andy Andrews
People who other people value get job offers, they get opportunities, and they get encouragement all because they are valued.
Andy Andrews
If one makes a mistake, then an apology is usually sufficient to get things back on an even keel. However-and this is a big ‘however’- most people do not ever know why their apology did not seem to have any effect. It is simply that they did not make a mistake they made a choice…and never understood the difference between the two.
Andy Andrews
See, the ‘small stuff’ is what makes up the larger picture of our lives. Many people are like you, young man. But their perspective is distorted. They ignore ‘small stuff,’ claiming to have an eye on the bigger picture, never understanding that the bigger picture is composed of nothing more than-are you ready?- ‘small stuff’.
Andy Andrews
We think in our society today that the way people change is that they have to have a deep desire to change or that the way they change is they have to hit rock bottom. But neither of those things is true.
Andy Andrews
Ask yourself this question everyday: What is it about me that other people would change if they could?
Andy Andrews
There are no hopeless situations, sweetheart, only people who have grown hopeless about them. You still have choices you can make.
Andy Andrews
There are generations yet unborn, whose very lives will be shifted and shaped by the moves you make and the actions you take.
Andy Andrews
I'm not saying find someone and ask them if you can mow their grass for ten dollars. I'm saying find weeds that need pulling and pull them.
Andy Andrews
What I'm doing when I'm doing my speaking engagements is that I'm delivering serious material with humor. So, instead of delivering humor without a particular point other than to entertain people, I'm delivering comedy in a serious way.
Andy Andrews
I'm not saying don't do the work you got, but instead of this two hours of watching TV at the hotel lobby or this three hours of sitting under the pier and reading comic books or worrying about what you're doing ... what value do you have? Can you read? There are people out there who can't read - go read to them.
Andy Andrews
You have chosen the pathway to your present destination. The responsibility for your situation is yours.
Andy Andrews
I believe that any type of education can be great, but an education about ourselves can create something wonderful. I am a comedian, but people have called me a motivational speaker. I don't really consider myself that at all.
Andy Andrews
I understand that what I am to do is to be a bridge between the people who would never set foot in a church in their entire lives and people who would like to get them there. So I write books that Christians can give to their non-Christian friends that they will actually read.
Andy Andrews
WHAT a person thinks is determined by HOW a person thinks.
Andy Andrews
Are you smiling when you talk? Try it today, and I guarantee you will notice a difference in your life.
Andy Andrews
Those who are critical of my goals and dreams simply do not understand the higher purpose to which I have been called.
Andy Andrews
We begin to forgive by choosing to forgive . . . by deciding, not by feeling. Our feelings don't lead us to forgive. Most times, our feelings lead us the other way. That's why a person has to decide to forgive first. Our feelings always follow along behind our decisions.
Andy Andrews
We have to prepare our teenagers and our children for a world away from us. That requires explanations. That requires understanding.
Andy Andrews
Every good thing that has happened in your life happened because something changed.
