Anger repressed can poison a relationship as surely as the crudest words. - Joyce Brothers

"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.

Success is a state of mind.
If you want success, start thinking
of yourself as a success.

Maybe Listening, not imitating, is the sincerest form of flattery.
