2.If you keep a scorecard of your friends’ ‘performance’ in the arena of friendship, you are missing the point.

3.When you find yourself explaining too much for every choice you make, ask yourself… why?

4.A person who has a lot of acquaintances is different from one with many friends.
For every ten ‘friends’ that you have, figure out how many are deep and lasting ones.

5.You usually refrain from asking questions that you don’t want people asking you.
One person’s casual inquiry is another’s intrusion of privacy.

6.Why do you desire to let people know that the latest trend was your initial idea? Why would you let people know after almost everyone has joined the bandwagon? If you were proud of that idea that you said was yours, then you should have been brave enough to make it known long before it became acceptable.

7.Lessons are usually learned from hindsight. History will determine if yours was a genuine motive or a good decision.

8.There is absolutely no way that one person can give answers and assurances to all crossroads that you will take. You hesitate probably because you don’t have enough faith in that person.

9.Why do we want to win the approval of someone we don’t even like, whose principles we don’t agree with? It is such a waste of time.

10.We ‘punish’ mistakes but ignore successes. We don’t pay attention until something goes wrong.

11.From the movie Curious Case of Benjamin Button. “We are defined by our opportunities, even those we miss.”
