Life is too short to wake up with regrets. So love the people who treat you right. Forget about those who don’t. Believe everything happens for a reason. If you get a chance, take it.

It isn't the quality of the ideas you have that will determine whether you make a success of them, it's the qualities you bring to those ideas.
