I love to READ books that focus on parenting topics because there are so many different WAYS to do THINGS. I find these books offer a LOT of great opinions on many different subjects.

The PURPOSE - where I START - is the IDEA of USE. It is not RECYCLING, it's reuse.

Sometimes you can FIND peace of mind by transferring yourself to DIFFERENT situations. They're just reminders to STAY... CALM.

There's a certain logic to AVOIDING the haters, but as a strategy, it's utterly FLAWED. When you turn off the feedback, you LOSE the BENEFITS as well as the drawbacks. It's like having a sore finger and cutting off your ARM.

I LISTEN to GOSPEL MUSIC.

I was taught that to create anything you had to believe in failure, simply because you had to be prepared to GO through an idea without any fear. Failure, you learned, as I did in ART SCHOOL, to be a wonderful thing. It ALLOWED you to GET up in the morning and take the pillow off your head.

I don't BELIEVE in MORALITY in ARCHITECTURE.

I remember, when I was at school, we would have a 10-minute STORYTELLING SESSION where we'd all sit on the floor cross-legged, and the teacher would read. It became something we all really looked forward to. That was PART of the REASON I grew to LOVE stories.

I have always WANTED to be a gardener, and I love the TIME I spend in my GARDEN.

A true FRIEND is someone who is there for you when he'd RATHER be anywhere ELSE.
