Parents. At the end of the day the world will judge the builder by the strenght and beauty of his structures; the leader by the culture of his tribe; and the parents by the manner their children behave. We call this 'command responsibility.'

Legend. The world will always attempt to make you just anybody else: unchanged, common, boring, and unremarkable. Don't be afraid to be original and authentic. Be a legend in your own right. You only have a single shot in this life.

Failures. Sometimes, failures give us the chance to quit the things we're not supposed to be doing, and do the thing God has designed for us to do. Listen to your heart and be honest with yourself. Feel it.

Body. Love your body whatever the weighing scale is telling you. It has a feeling on its own, it produces more stress hormones once it feels it's unwanted; and it releases more healing hormones when it feels loved.

Organ. My Italian friend once told me: " The quality of our skin, especially on our face, reveals the internal state of our internal organs." I learned too that making our expressions more cheerful improves the quality of our internal organs... and our spirit.

My former high school teacher once said: "John's brain is a size of a peanut." Now, before I go to the stage to talk to teachers, I would buy some peanuts and eat them. Then, I would tell my audience: "Never prophesy for the students. Reserve the foretelling to God. He alone holds the future of these kids. You never can tell."
