cutting glimpse hoping tv walking
We were walking the floor. We weren't cutting the TV off at all just hoping to get a glimpse of him.
greatest presence
Without a doubt, all of us are in the presence of the greatest humanitarian in the world.
giving-up goal people
Don't ever give up. You can't let discouragement get you down. You can always find negative people that will try to discourage you from your goals. You can't be discouraged, and you can't let the word "no" stop you.
eye opportunity ideas
If you've got a good idea and you're willing to do whatever it takes to pursue it, keep your head up and eyes open because you don't know when opportunity will come knocking.
children wings giving
There's nothing better than being able to give your children wings so they can soar and fly in the direction they want to go in.
hard-work unconditional-love thinking
Working with family is probably one of the hardest things in business, but it can also be one of the most rewarding. You have to be very, very careful that you don't overstep the boundaries that you wouldn't with anyone else. Sometimes, we think that the unconditional love they have for us makes overstepping boundaries alright. It's really not. You have to work harder to not damage the family dynamic. That lasts forever.
journey winning risk
You never know who you will meet along life's journey. You have to be open to risks, but calculated risks, open to winning.
dream ifs
If you have a dream, FOLLOW IT.
people feelings done
When it's said and done, the one thing I want to leave on this earth is hope. I have felt hopelessness, and it's a terrible feeling. Hopelessness will destroy you. I want to bring hope to other people.
sweet giving-up drinking
The first thing I did was give up sweet tea because I drank so much. I'd start drinking at lunchtime and wouldn't set it down until I went to bed. When you calculate how much empty calories and how much sugar I was consuming, it was staggering. So I haven't had a glass of sweet tea in three years.
funny-love real eye
Love is blind, but marriage is a real eye-opener.
believe way living-my-life
I believe that everyone should be treated equal. That's the way I was raised, and that's the way I live my life.
