 - There’s two things in life that really define who you are as a person, that really shape who you are as a person: there’s education, and there’s experience. And when it comes to experience, there’s the kind that you pursue, like a trip. And then there’s the kind of experience that just happens to you. And those experiences, they have a huge impact on who you are, and they affect who you are for the rest of your life.
 - Give people the benefit of the doubts, assume that they’re being good, assume that they’re being positive, the alternative is to being a negative cynical person
- If you put in the time to work hard at being positive and being optimistic, it’s a much better life, but it does take more work
 - Every once in a while, when things get really good, you just stop and look around, and pay really close attention and say : “I’m gonna remember this moment"
 - Never look back and wish you had done things differently, look forward and think: “What can I do now, to affect my future?"
