PHILOSOPHY

"I have come to the frightening conclusion that I am the decisive element. It is my personal approach that creates the climate. It is my daily mood that makes the weather.
I possess tremendous power to make a life miserable or joyous. I can be a tool of torture, or an instrument of inspiration.I can humiliate or humor, hurt or heal. In all situations, it is my response that decides whether a crisis will be escalated or de –escalated, and a person humanized or dehumanized. If we treat people as they are, we make them worse. If we treat people as they ought to be, we help them become what they are capable of becoming." Goethe

"There are two sides to every story. The intelligent ones see both"

"Why do we kill people who kill people to show that killing people is wrong?"

"Dance your own dance. Sing you own song. Speak your own truth. Live your own dream. And live the life you've imagined"

"Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication"
