(and hopefully, I will remember them in 2013!

1. Never act in anger.
2. Or confusion.
3. Creativity is a gift. Be grateful.
4. To trust someone does not necessarily make them loyal.
5. Colleagues must be friends, friends should not be colleagues.
6. There are still people in this world that care.
7. Respect is not owned. It is earned.
8. You can’t run away from your history, but you can learn how to deal with it.

14. There is a sincere innocence about children. Learn from it.
15. Breaking down is easy. Picking yourself up takes greater effort.
