There's no such thing as a self-made man or woman. No one succeeds without support.
"I did it on my own" is a sign of insecurity and entitlement. Acknowledging help is a mark of confidence and humility.
Giving credit to others doesn't undermine you. It elevates them.

If the military academies are purging libraries of “The Autobiography of Martin Luther King Jr.,” “Einstein on Race and Racism,” and a biography on Jackie Robinson, how long will it be before they eliminate classes on the Geneva Conventions and military obligations under international laws of war?

Grief is not a purely negative emotion. Over time, sadness is joined by love and gratitude.
The purpose of grief is not to cause pain. It's to keep memories of loved ones alive and remind us to make the most of our time.
Moving forward is not about erasing sorrow. It's about gaining perspective.

Many people chase wealth, status, and achievement because progress is easy to measure.
They fail to realize that the gains that count the most are the hardest to count.
Real growth is building character—striving to improve in generosity, integrity, humility, fairness, courage, or wisdom.

The highest compliment from someone who disagrees with you is not “You were right.” It’s “You made me think.”
Good arguments help us recognize complexity where we once saw simplicity.
The ultimate purpose of debate is not to produce consensus. It’s to promote critical thinking.

You shouldn’t finish every book you start.
Abandoning a book is not an admission of failure—it’s a sign of wisdom. You’ve decided to let go of sunk costs.
The purpose of reading is to be entertained and informed. If a book doesn't bring joy or insight, it’s time to move on.
