We all stand on the dart board and very few of us catch the darts. Do not think it is unfair. It is fair but you are unlucky. - Randy Pausch

If nobody ever worried about what was in other people's heads, we’d all be 33 percent more effective in our lives and our jobs.

If you took one-tenth the energy you put into complaining and applied it to solving the problem, you'd be surprised by how well things can work out... Complaining does not work as a strategy. We all have finite time and energy. Any time we spend whining is unlikely to help us achieve our goals. And it won't make us happier.

educators best serve students by helping them be more self-reflective. The only way any of us can improve — as Coach Graham taught me — is if we develop a real ability to assess ourselves. If we can’t accurately do that, how can we tell if we’re getting better or worse?
