“I believe all of us can identify with the poet Carl Sandberg, who said, “There is an eagle in me that wants to soar and a hippopotamus in me that wants to wallow in the mud.” The key to success is following the impulse to soar more than the desire to wallow.

“The bottom line in managing your emotions is that you should put others – not yourself – first in how you handle and process them.
