Virginia Satir
We can learn something new anytime we believe we can.
Virginia Satir
The symbol in Chinese for crisis is made up of two ideographs: one means danger, the other means opportunity. This symbol is a reminder that we can choose to turn a crisis into an opportunity or into a negative experience.
Virginia Satir
Negotiating the adolescent stage is neither quick nor easy.
