Without a sense of humor, you don't have much sense at all.

Tell someone a story, and you capture their imagination. Make someone laugh, and you capture their friendship. Bring a tear to their eye with poignant grace, and you capture their heart. But never, never attempt to capture someone’s spirit. That is theirs, and theirs alone.

Selling yourself short shortchanges others who could reap the benefits of what you have to offer; it also shortchanges you who could, in turn, reap the benefits of what others want to offer you.

Give others the benefit of the doubt. Until they run out of benefit and you run out of doubt.

Expectations hinder you from being prepared for the unexpected
