"The quality of my life is in relation to the quality of yours."

Remember, regardless of wanting to make her your friend, that some people will not like you. That's okay. It really is!

You can always make your best effort to be understood and make your best effort to have people like you, but if it doesn't work -- give up! It's one of things not under our control.

We can expect respect from everyone, but we have to be able to (a) recognize when it's not forthcoming and (b) avoid those who do not respect us.

If the talk turns out to be less than desirable, it's NOT YOUR FAULT. She made the decision to be angry, for whatever reason.

And oddly enough, writing this helped me solidify my opinion on an issue of my own..
