Every morning I wake up, I can't even wait to go and see what life can I change today. It doesn't have to be a lot of lives, but I can change one life a little bit here, a little bit there, and I hope that everything I create, people know that.

Try handling problems in the office as dispassionately as you can and I guarantee you will have a better time of it not least because when you bring emotion into the conversation, you furnish your colleagues with an easy out for dismissing you.
