You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view; until you climb inside of his skin and
walk around in it.

Wealth
I think the key indicator for wealth is not good grades, work ethic, or IQ. I believe it's relationships. Ask yourself two questions: how many people do I know, and how much ransom money could I get for each one?

Words of compassion
If you're not angry, you are either a stone or you are too sick to be angry. You should be angry. You must not be bitter; let me show you why. Bitterness is like cancer. It eats upon on the host. It doesn't do anything to the object of its displeasure. So use that anger; yes, you write it, you paint it, you dance it, you march it, you vote it, you do everything about it, you talk it; never stop talking it.
