Thoughtful dissent doesn't always mean you're wrong. It often means the issue is complex and your knowledge is incomplete.

Good-faith debate isn't an attack. It's an opportunity to sharpen your ideas.

Happiness lies in the range between aspirational and acceptable.

Resilience is not about being invulnerable to hardship. It’s about accepting adversity as part of life.
