A strong, positive self-image is the best possible preparation for success. - Joyce Brothers

I think we should follow a simple rule: if we can take the worst, take the risk.

"We treat each other well" In strong families, positive strokes outnumber negative broadsides by a wide margin. Members regularly express appreciation: "Thanks for fixing the drainpipe." "you look so nice in that dress." "The dinner was great" Criticism is offered gently. After all, strong families figure, if we can be kind to strangers, why not to one another.

Credit buying is much like being drunk. The buzz happens immediately and gives you a lift... The hangover comes the day after.
