inspiring graduation fall
Nothing in life is worthwhile unless you take risks. Fall forward. Every failed experiment is one step closer to success.
trying failing ifs
If you don't fail, you're not even trying.
philosophy yoga buddhism
I think that we all at some point are in search of something - a higher power, whatever you want to call it, the meaning of life. I know I was, especially at even my son's age in my 20s, and dabbling in Eastern philosophies and yoga and Buddhism and Christianity and Islam. I kind of touched them all, you know, just trying to figure out the meaning of life or if nothing else, figure myself out.
life success faith
My mother used to tell me man gives the award, God gives the reward. I don't need another plaque.
medicine tragedy needs
The greatest lesson I've learned in life is "Who knows what's good or bad?" Things come along that you really want, and they turn out to be the worst thing in the world. And some of the worst tragedies that you can conceive turn out to be the best things, the exact medicine you need in that moment.
life success faith
I'm very proud to be black, but black is not all I am. That's my cultural historical background, my genetic makeup, but it's not all of who I am nor is it the basis from which I answer every question.
life success faith
You pray for rain, you gotta deal with the mud too. That's a part of it.
light america fire
Some said America took a step forward electing a black president. In light of the unconstitutiona l expansion of powers, lack of transparency and fueling the fires of unrest that clearly hasn't been the case. Vote based on merits, not to fill a racial quota.
people chance define-you
The chances you take, the people you meet, the people you love, the faith that you have. That's what's going to define you.
be-who-you-are world matter
Got to be who you are in this world, no matter what.
morning men blue-dress
A man once told me that you step out of your door in the morning, and you are already in trouble. The only question is are you on top of that trouble or not?
mean good-day eye
Success? I don't know what that word means. I'm happy. But success, that goes back to what in somebody's eyes success means. For me, success is inner peace. That's a good day for me.
success want what-you-want
Do what you have to do, to do what you want to do.
differences making-a-difference aspire
Don't aspire to make a living, aspire to make a difference.
