It is important to reflect on the kindness of others. Every aspect of our present well-being is due to others' hard work. The buildings we live and work in, the roads we travel, the clothes we wear, and the food we eat, are all provided by others. None of them would exist but for the kindness of so many people unknown to us.

The only way to fail is to quit.

Remember that the best relationship is one in which your love for each other exceeds your need for each other.
