Quotes:
"After you understand something, it is difficult to remember why it wasn't obvious." --Dad
"How you stand up for your ideas depends on your own comfort level. But if you are known as a person who unemotionally states your facts, who tells the truth as you know it, you will always be welcome at meetings, and your counsel and advice will always be sought. You will not always be right, you will not always carry the day, but you will always be respected as someone who will speak your mind as honestly and truthfully as possible." --Peter Pace
