father kids people
Money, financial matters were to help people, to help them survive, not to have a bigger house or a bigger car and that sort of thing, because I hear that from so many kids, they often don't know why their father won't spend more time with them.
wise sick people
A surgeon is surrounded by people who are sick, discouraged, afraid, embittered, dying - but also courageous, loving, wise, compassionate and alive.
inspiration mean people
Information doesn't mean a thing to people without inspiration.
happy-life two people
Studies of volunteers have shown there is a benefit to performing acts of love for other people. The irony is that it is actually in your best interest to be selfless. The things you do for the benefit of others not only make you feel fulfilled, they increase your chances of living a long and happy life. Remember that an act of love always benefits at least two people.
people enjoy-your-life enjoy
If you love people, you'll enjoy your life. If you don't, you won't love anything you do.
people enjoy-life trying
Don't try to help people to 'not die', help them to enjoy life!
people giving stories
Stories change people while statistics give them something to argue about.
simple sick people
The simple truth is that happy people generally don't get sick
people disease incurable-disease
There is no such thing as an incurable disease, only incurable people.
who-i-am people ive-learned
I've learned to ask people, "You're doing very well so what are you doing? Let me tell other people." So what's made me who I am, my experience.
people waiting healthy
What I try to get physically healthy people to understand is that they're going to die someday. There is no way out. And dying isn't failure, but not living is, so make use of your time. Don't keeping waiting.
doctors people doe
People have taught me what most doctors don't learn, in other words, when somebody does better than expected, the doctor will tell them they're doing very well and to keep it up. I learned to say, "You didn't die when you were supposed to so what's going on?", and they always had a story to tell me.
giving-up doctors people
I see people who die a few minutes after a doctor tells them there is no hope of a cure. They give up and go. Others get angry and find joy in proving the doctor wrong. Something within them is challenged and hopeful. Hope is the divine motivator.
love-you giving people
To paraphrase something the anthropologist Ashley Montagu once said, the way I change my life is to act as if I'm the person I want to be. This is, to me, the simplest, wisest advice you can give anyone. When you wake up and act like a loving person, you realize not only that you are altered, but that the people around you are also transformed, because everybody is changed by the reception of this love....
