A parent’s job is not to make children happy. It’s to teach them to find their own happiness.

A key lesson is that happiness is not only about enjoying life. It’s also about improving others’ lives.

Giving credit to others doesn't undermine you. It elevates them.

'You learn the most from things you enjoy doing so much that you don’t even notice time passing. I am often so engrossed in my work that I forget to eat lunch.'

A mark of emotional maturity is hearing disagreement without taking offense.

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.
