    Your standard of living is not decided by where you came from. It is determined by where you choose to go. - rm

    Also:

    never bring work home and never bring home to work

    There are very few people in your life who you can genuinely trust. Keep your loved ones close, your mind sharp, and don't let your guard down.

    Pretty much this. I also learned, lamentably late in life, that there is no God waiting to swoop in and bail humanity as a whole or individually out of the mess we're all in (or, for you New Age types, aliens, humans from the future, or magic unicorns).

    No one can make you happy except yourself, so don't settle for anything less than exactly what you want in life.

    The heart doesn't lie. Whether it's good or bad, it never lies. It warns you, it cautions you. Follow your heart.

    Divorce sucks! It can throw you into a deep depression and make you want to distance yourself from your closest friends. Don't let it win... Don't let it get the best of you... It physically hurts and is overwhelming, but you need to push through it... It gets better over time... Keep your friends close, don't push them away they are your best support.

    Just have to remind myself sometimes that whatever happens, happens for a reason

    Never make someone a priority if they only make you an option.

    I love this.

    I learned not to work harder than the other person in any relationship.

    When I was a boy whenever I did something thoughtless and irresponsible my Father would say
    "Grow up stupid"

    So I took him at his word and did so

    you have to be able to be happy alone before you can truly be happy with anyone else

    and

    confidence and humbleness are the most attractive qualities you can have
