3. When someone shows you what they are like, believe them the first time.
4. One of the greatest gifts you can give is to forgive. Forgive everyone.
5. All great achievements take time.
6. We admire the beauty of a butterfly but rarely remember the changes it went through to achieve that beauty.
7. Never give priority to someone for whom you are only one of the options available to him.
8. I learned that even when I feel pain, there is no need to be my own pain.
9. Nothing will work if you don't work.
10. You may not really be able to control all the events that happen in your life, but you can choose not to get knocked down!
11. Success is loving yourself, loving what you do, and loving how you do it.
12. At the time, I did as I knew how. Now that I know better, I will do better.
13. If you're always trying to be normal, you'll never know how extraordinary you really can be.
