Be Practical." That's probably the most stupid piece of advice I've ever received in my life.

We cannot leave our children disconnected from opportunities that are designed specially for them.

Change needs us. Change needs people who are willing to invest themselves and their time and their energy and all that they can in making it happen.

I’d always heard people say and I’m sure you heard it too, “Change takes time.” But, my parents taught me the more important lesson, very silently but with even greater clarity, “Change takes time. But, it also takes people.” People who are willing to put in their everything. Change doesn’t happen by itself.
