You can't make people work harder. People have to want to work hard and make a difference. Purpose matters.

Life is like a camera. Focus on what's important. Capture the good times. And if things don't work out, just take another shot.

Life is like an elevator. On your way up, sometimes you have to stop and let some people off.
