Some people have a photographic memory. I've got the film.
Become friends with people who aren't your age. Hang out with people whose first language isn't the same as yours. Get to know someone who doesn't come from your social class. This is how you see the world. This is how you grow.
"Challenge yourself every day to do better and be better. Remember, growth starts with a decision to move beyond your present circumstances."
-- Robert Tew
"The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen."
"If you want happiness for an hour - take a nap. If you want happiness for a day - go fishing. If you want happiness for a year - inherit a fortune. If you want happiness for a lifetime - help someone else."
-- Chinese Proverb
"I've found that there is always some beauty left -- in nature, sunshine, freedom, in yourself; these can all help you."
-- Anne Frank

- Mother Teresa
"A beautiful day begins with a beautiful mindset. When you wake up, take a second to think about what a privilege it is to simply be alive and healthy. The moment you start acting like life is a blessing, I assure you it will start to feel like one. Time spent appreciating is time worth living."
Some people think that to be STRONG is to never feel pain.
In reality, the strongest people are the ones who FEEL it, UNDERSTAND it, and ACCEPT it.
"You yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection."
-- Buddha
"It is well to give when asked, but it is better to give unasked, through understanding."
-- Kahlil Gibran
