Favorite quotes from this talk See all
We can’t wait for someone else to make a difference—it has to start with us.
Keep pushing through, even when the stats are against us.
There are people who have been handed different life situations that we weren’t born into, and until you look at it from their perspective, you won’t see all the solutions that are there to try to help them. You have to put yourself in their shoes.
