The past is done and you cannot change it.
The future is predicated on the choices that you make today.
Where you go - there you are.
It is what is IN you that you take with you and that drives the relationships that you have with friends, family, and employers.
This quote, probably more than any other, embodies what I try to tell the students everyday.
I think it was Stephen Covey, who boiled it down very succinctly in 7 Habits : Character matters
Stripped of everything we've ever owned, every title we've ever held,
the attachment to every dream of tomorrow that may or may not come ~ nothing can ever take away from us WHO we are.
