If you don’t understand people you don’t understand business.” -Simon Sinek “You accept things as they are, not as you wish they were in this moment. This is important to understand. You can wish for things in the future to be different, but in this moment you have to accept things as they are. When you feel frustrated or upset by a person or a situation, remember that you are not reacting to the person or the situation, but to your feelings about the person or the situation. These are your feelings, and your feelings are not someone else’s fault. When you recognize and understand this completely, you are ready to take responsibility for how you feel and to change it. And if you can accept things as they are, you are ready to take responsibility for your situation and for all the events you see as problems.” -Deepak Chopra “What by a straight path cannot be reached by crooked ways is never won.” -Johann Wolfgang von Goethe “We cannot fashion our children after our desires, we must have them and love them as God has given them to us.” -Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
