Sometimes people use "respect" to mean "treating someone like a person" and sometimes they use "respect" to mean "treating someone like an authority" and sometimes people who are used to being treated like an authority say "if you won’t respect me I won’t respect you" and they mean "if you won’t treat me like an authority I won’t treat you like a person" and they think they’re being fair but they aren’t, and it’s not okay.

Do more

Casey Neistat

The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude, to me, is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, than education, than money, than circumstances, than failures, than successes, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness or skill. It will make or break a company...a church....a home. The remarkable thing is we have a choice every day regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past...we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude...I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% how I react to it. And so it is with you...we are in charge of our attitudes.

We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard, because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one which we intend to win.

Morgan Housel

People are often unreasonable, illogical and self centered; Forgive them anyway. If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives; Be kind anyway. If you are successful, you will win some false friends and some true enemies; Succeed anyway. If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you; Be honest and frank anyway. What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight; Build anyway. If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous; Be happy anyway. The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow; Do good anyway. Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough; Give the world the best you've got anyway. You see, in the final analysis, it is between you and your God; It was never between you and them anyway.

Proverb

She believed she could, so she did.

R.S. Grey

To laugh often and much; to win the respect of the intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty; to find the beauty in others; to leave the world a bit better whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; to know that one life has breathed easier because you lived here. This is to have succeeded.

Perhaps the most valuable result of all education is the ability to make yourself do the thing you have to do, when it ought to be done, whether you like it or not; it is the first lesson that ought to be learned; and, however early a man's training begins, it is probably the last lesson that he learns thoroughly.

Thomas Jefferson

Don't inflict help

Tobbe Gyllebring

... but that doesn't mean you shouldn't build things anyway. Just because something is going to break in the end doesn't mean that it can't have an effect that lasts into the future. Joy. Wonder. Laughter. Hope. The world can be better because of what you built in the past... try and make sure that the things you're working on pushes in the right direction. They don't have to be big projects. They might just have an audience of one. And even if they don't last, try to make sure that they leave something positive behind.

Tom Scott

Marriage is hard. Divorce is hard. Choose your hard. Obesity is hard. Being fit is hard. Choose your hard. Being in debt is hard. Being financially disciplined is hard. Choose your hard. Communication is hard. Not communicating is hard. Choose your hard. Life will never be easy. It will always be hard. But we can choose our hard. Pick wisely.

With great power comes great responsibility.

Voltaire

Those who judge will never understand, and those who understand will never judge.

Wilson Kanadi

The most carefree time of your life is over. That's a fact. You're an adult now, and unless your parents are filthy rich, you can never go back to thinking about the world the way a child does, where all of your needs are someone else's responsibility and you simply focus on what you want. But that was always going to end. And what's more, the older you get, the more you'll find that it wouldn't even make you happy to have it back. Because pleasure is not happiness, except when you're a child. Where you once sought pleasure, now you are old enough and smart enough to seek fulfillment. This is the time of your life when you get to really know yourself, find out what's meaningful to you, what you care about enough to go after it with all of your ability. And then you have the rest of your life to do those things! That's where your happiness will be found. There and nowhere else.
