What's Wrong With Being Number Two?

And, In Addition To All The Miseries, The Young Are Not Wise. They Have Very Little Understanding About Life. Who Wants To Live Every Day When You Don't Know What's Going On? When People Are Manipulating You, Telling You To Buy This Perfume And You'll Be Beautiful, Or This Pair Of Jeans And You'll Be Sexy-and You Believe Them! It's Such Nonsense.

In The Beginning Of Life, When We Are Infants, We Need Others To Survive. And At The End Of Life, We Need Others To Survive. But Here's The Secret, In Between, We Need Others As Well.

Sometimes You Cannot Believe What You See, You Have To Believe What You Feel. And If You Are Ever Going To Have Other People Trust You, You Must Feel That You Can Trust Them, Too - Even When You're In The Dark. Even When You're Falling.

Everyone Knows They're Going To Die, But Nobody Believes It. If We Did We Would Do Things Differently. Do What The Buddhists Do. Every Day, Have A Little Bird On Your Shoulder That Asks, "is Today The Day? Am I Ready? Am I Doing All I Need To Do? Am I Being The Person I Want To Be?

These Were People So Hungry For Love That They Were Accepting Substitutes. There Were Embracing Material Things And Expecting A Sort Of Hug Back. But It Never Works. You Can't Substitute Material Things For Love Or For Gentleness Or For Tenderness Or For A Sense Of Comradeship. Money Is No Substitute For Tenderness, And Power Is Not A Substitute For Tenderness. I Can Tell You As I'm Sitting Here Dying, When You Most Need It, Neither Money Nor Power Will Give You The Feeling You're Looking For, No Matter How Much Of Them You Have.
