-"In order to be heard, you first have to listen." ~Bo Seo from Train for any argument with Harvard's former debate coach
-"Everyone's behavior and worldview makes sense to them. If you have the humility to say 'help me understand your perspective' you can grow as a person and make real connections." (Paraphrasing) ~Jonathan Decker from Does Uncle Iroh ACTUALLY Give Good Advice? Therapist vs. Uncle Iroh ( Warning: Video contains major spoilers for 'Avatar: The Last Airbender')
-"Grudges are wasted energy. It's pointless to despise someone forever when that version of them may no longer exist." (Paraphrasing) ~Blutah.
-"You vote with your money." ~Unknown. I'd personally add "and pay with your time."
-Conflict doesn't need to be a big fight.
Carefully and considerately discussing issues is crucial to most relationships.
-Failure is necessary for personal growth.
-The concepts of 'Action' and 'Motivation' are a loop; a cycle. If you were on your deathbed today, would you be satisfied with your life? No? Then get up and do something.
