“I strongly encourage you to find a place to think and to discipline yourself to pause and use it, because it has the potential to change your life.

“We don’t get to pick our talents or IQ. But we do choose our character. In fact, we create it every time we make choices—to cop out or dig out of a hard situation, to bend the truth or stand under the weight of it, to take the easy money or pay the price.”
