I put my career in second place throughout both my marriages and it suffered. I don't regret it. You make choices. If you want a good marriage you must pay attention to that. If you want to be independent go ahead. You can't have it all.
You are doomed to make choices. This is life's greatest paradox.
You can't make positive choices for the rest of your life without an environment that makes those choices easy natural and enjoyable.
Too often in life something happens and we blame other people for us not being happy or satisfied or fulfilled. So the point is we all have choices and we make the choice to accept people or situations or to not accept situations.
There are two primary choices in life: to accept conditions as they exist or accept the responsibility for changing them.
I think I'm learning to be bolder in my career choices and be more confident in my personal life. I haven't always felt very secure as an individual but now I feel I certain confidence and sense of self that gets me through the day a lot better than before.
Leadership demands that we make tough choices.
Under the leadership of this President the state of the union is not strong. We are being pulled apart rather than pulling together. Our democracy is suffering from the choices being made and yet we are offered the same tired excuses and unrealistic analyses.
Nixon was an awful president in many ways including in some of his foreign-policy choices. But he left no doubt that foreign policy and America's leadership in the world outside its borders was of paramount importance to him.
It is not government's job to mandate responsibility on our behalf. We have the intelligence and good sense to make wise consumption choices for ourselves and our children. It is up to us to do what is best for our health and our children's health.
