I Learned A Long Time Ago That

It's Like Everybody's Sitting There And They Have Some Kind Of Veil Over Their Face, And They Look At Each Other Through This Veil That Makes Them See Each Other Through Some Stereotypical Kind Of Viewpoint. If We're Ever Gonna Collectively Begin To Grapple With The Problems That We Have Collectively, We're Gonna Have To Move Back The Veil And Deal With Each Other On A More Human Level.

One Of The Things My Parents Taught Me, And I'll Always Be Grateful As A Gift, Is To Not Ever Let Anybody Else Define Me; That For Me To Define Myself. And I Think That Helped Me A Lot In Assuming A Leadership Position.

I Learned A Long Time Ago That I Can't Control The Challenges The Creator Sends My Way, But I Can Control The Way I Think About Them And Deal With Them

I Hope Many Of You Will Be People That Question Why Things Are And Why We Have To Do Them The Way We Have Always Done Them. I Hope You Will Take Some Risks, Exert Some Real Leadership On Issues, And If You Will, Dance Along The Edge Of The Roof As You Continue For Life.

People Say That Crisis Changes People And Turns Ordinary People Into Wiser Or More Responsible Ones.
