We love being mentally strong, but we hate situations that allow us to put our mental strength to good use.

Plants are more courageous than almost all human beings: an orange tree would rather die than produce lemons, whereas instead of dying the average person would rather be someone they are not.

We all have problems. Or rather, everyone has at least one thing that they regard as a problem.

More often than not, an inspirational or motivational speaker is someone who makes money from telling us that we can do all of the things that we can do … and pretty much all of the things that we cannot do.
