"Memory is a strange thing. It doesn’t work like I thought it did. We don’t remember, we rewrite memory much as history is rewritten. To remember is to remake, to reimagine."

Successful people maintain a positive focus in life no matter what is going on around them. They stay focused on their past successes rather than their past failures, and on the next action steps they need to take to get them closer to the fulfillment of their goals rather than all the other distractions that life presents to them.

The pursuit of knowledge is a lifelong journey, and the joy of discovery is its greatest reward.

You get what you give. What you put into things is what you get out of them.
