“My mother taught me to focus on being myself and not to worry what other people think about you. I know that as long as I'm a good person I'll stay on the right path. From my dad I learned that when someone tells you “No” it's only the beginning of a conversation. They both have always let me know that I can do anything I want to do as long as I don't give up. They are the most important role models in my life because they are exactly who I want to be when I grow up. They are supportive and understanding and I try every day to remember what they've taught me.” PeopleThinkingKnowsWantGivingTryingPersonsLongI CanImportantRememberMotherGrowsUnderstandingCan DoRolesWorryGrowing UpPathFocusTaughtDadConversationGiving UpModelsLet MeMy DadRole ModelsSupportiveGood PersonDon't Give UpRight PathBeing MyselfDay To Remember Author:Lauren Conrad
“Contrary to popular belief, prosperity is an emotional state that has little to do with your wealth or the state of the economy. You can feel more prosperous in a one-room cottage than most wealthy people feel in a twenty-room mansion. Misers will hoard a lot of money and spendthrifts will spend whatever they have - you don't have to do either to feel prosperous. You may have to give up your secure, high-paying corporate job, however - and grow spiritually in the process.” PeopleGivingFeelsMayLittlesStatesJobsBeliefGrowsProcessWealthRoomsEconomyEmotionalGiving UpTwentiesProsperityContrarySecureCorporateWealthyLots Of MoneyProsperousMansionsCottagesMisersContrary To Popular BeliefSpendthrift Author:Ernie J Zelinski

“Note even Jonathan Swift would dare to write a satire in which politicians argued that - in a world where species are vanishing and more than a billion people are barely able to afford to eat - it would somehow be good for the planet to clear rain-forests to grow palm oil, or give up food-crop land to grow biofuels, solely so that people could burn fuel derived from carbohydrate rather than hydrocarbons in their cars, thus driving up the price of food for the poor.

“Give up the idea that by ruling over others you can do any good to them. But you can do just as much as you can in the case of the plant: you can supply the growing seed with the materials for the making up of its body, bringing to it the earth, the water, the air, that it wants. It will take all that it wants by its own nature, it will assimilate and grow by its own nature.” WantGivingIdeasBodyEarthGrowsWaterCan DoCasesGrowingAirMaterialsGiving UpPlantSeedsRulingMaking Up Book:The Complete Works of Swami Vivekananda Source: The Complete Works of Swami Vivekananda
“Love, as the poet says, is like the spring. It grows on you and seduces you slowly and gently, but it holds tight like the roots of a tree. You don't know until you're ready to go that you can't move, that you would have to mutilate yourself in order to be free. That's the feeling. It doesn't last, at least it doesn't have to. But it holds on like a steel claw in your chest. Even if the tree dies, the roots cling to you. I've seen men and women give up everything for love that once was.” IfsKnowsMenGivingFeelingsLastsMovingOrderDiesGrowsTreeReadyPoetGiving UpSpringMen And WomenRootsChestsSteelClawsSeducing Author:Walter Mosley

“Only children believe they're capable of everything. They're trusting and fearless; they believe in their own power and get exactly what they want. When children grow up, they start to realize that they're not as powerful as they thought and that they need other people in order survive. Then the child begins to love and to hope his love will be requited; and as life goes on, he develops an ever-greater need to be loved in return, even if that means having to give up his power. We all end up where we are now: Grown-ups doing everything we can to be accepted and loved.” PeopleIfsWantNeedsGivingBelieveMeanChildrenEndsOrderGrowsRealizingPowerfulGrowing UpGreaterGoes OnReturnGiving UpCapableAcceptedFearlessHis LoveLife Goes OnOnly Child Author:Paulo Coelho
