Hence, for the next two weeks, I'm calling upon other folks to offer you these kernels of wisdom. "We who lived in concentration camps can remember the people who walked through the huts comforting others, giving away their last piece of bread. They may have been few in number, but they offer sufficient proof that everything can be taken from a person but one thing: the last of the human freedoms - to choose one's attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one's own way."- Viktor Frankl "It's a bit embarrassing to have been concerned with the human problem all one's life and find at the end that one has no more to offer by way of advice than 'Try to be a little kinder.'"- Aldous Huxley "I'm a great believer in luck, and I find the harder I work, the more I have of it."- Thomas Jefferson "For every complex problem there is a simple solution - which is always wrong."- H.L. Menken "Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work."- Thomas Edison "The grass is not always greener on the other side of the fence. Fences have nothing to do with it. The grass is greenest where it is watered. When crossing over fences, carry water with you and tend the grass wherever you may be." - Robert Fulgham"The strongest oak of the forest is not the one that is protected from the storm and hidden from the sun. It's the one that stands in the open where it is compelled to struggle for existence against the winds and rains and the scorching sun." - Napoleon Hill"Everything that irritates us about others can lead us to an understanding of ourselves."- Carl Jung"A man would do nothing, if he waited until he could do it so well that no one at all would find fault with what he has done." - Cardinal Newman "He who controls others may be powerful but he who has mastered himself is mightier still." - Lao Tsu"The most damaging phrase in the language is: 'It's always been done that way.'" - Admiral Grace Hopper"Everyone who got where he is had to begin where he was." - Robert Louis Stevenson Linda Sapadin, Ph.D. is a psychologist in private practice who works with individuals, couples and families.
