“Parenting forces us to get to know ourselves better than we ever might have imagined we could--and in many new ways. . . . We'll discover talents we never dreamed we had and fervently wish for others at moments we feel we desperately need them. As time goes on, we'll probably discover that we have more to give and can give more than we ever imagined. But we'll also find that there are limits to our giving, and that may be hard for us to accept.” KnowsWayNeedsGivingFeelsMayHardMomentsMightForceWishAcceptingTalentGoes OnLimitsParenthoodNew WaysTime Goes On Author:Fred Rogers

Girls are shielded and sometimes helped so much that they lose initiative and begin to believe the signs 'Girls don't' and 'Girls can't' which mark their paths... Consequently, it seems almost necessary to evolve different methods of instruction for them when they later take up the same subjects.” PeopleBelieveLittlesDifferentSometimesSeemsGirlIndividualSexWomenLosesAttentionPathSubjectsTalentGoes OnMarkPaidMethodEvolveAviationFeminineInstructionInitiativeMasculineDividingIndividual Talent Author:Amelia Earhart
“One of the things I've learned - before I would go on a show, I was like, "Oh God, I hate that show" or "That show is gonna get canceled." But now after being full-time on a show, you see how difficult it is and how much work goes into it and how so many decisions are based on finances or people's schedules or talent or location issues. It's a miracle that anything gets made.” PeopleMadeShowsHateDifficultDecisionIssuesTalentGoes OnMiracleI HateFinanceI've LearnedLocationSchedulesThings I've Learned Author:Fiona Gubelmann

“With this show [Stand-Up Revolution ], I loved the idea that I would be picking the talent that goes on, not the network.
