Mark Zuckerberg said "A lot of the time, the experts, the people who are supposed to be able to tell you what to do, will tell you that you can't do something even when you know you can. And a lot of the time, it's your friends ... who tell you you can do it." Mark is the founder of Facebook... he said this at the Belle Haven Elementary School in 2011. Whether you like him or not, that is a very accurate statement. I think it's important to listen to your parents, but I also think it's important to know that they may not be right 100% of the time. I say that AS a parent by the way! I think we need to be trained to use our brains. THINK things through before you do them, no matter who is telling you that it's the way!

Sheryl Sandberg said "When looking for a life partner, my advice to women is date all of them: the bad boys, the cool boys, the commitment-phobic boys, the crazy boys. But do not marry them. The things that make the bad boys sexy do not make them good husbands. When it comes time to settle down, find someone who wants an equal partner. Someone who thinks women should be smart, opinionated, and ambitious. Someone who values fairness and expects or, even better, wants to do his share in the home. These men exist and, trust me, over time, nothing is sexier." What a great quote! I agree with Sheryl by the way. Some people think marriage is 50-50... it's not... it's 100-100! Give it your all!

A father said to his graduating son. Here's a car that I bought for you when you were born, take it to a car dealership and see what they offer you." The son said, "They offered me $10,000 because it's almost 20 years old." The father said, "Take it to a pawn shop." The son said, "They only offered me $1,000." Finally, the father asked his son to take the car to a classic car club. The son came back and said, "Some people at the club offered me $100,000 because it is a very rare and sought after car." The father said "I want you to understand, if they don't value you, don't be angry, it just means you're in the wrong place. Those who know your value are the ones who truly appreciate you. Never stay in a place where they don't recognize your value!

Like most actors of the day, the cast of Gilligan's Island were each paid a certain amount of money per episode, plus payment for the first five repeats, so their income from the show ended nearly 50 years ago. But one member of the cast thought that the show was better than that... Dawn Wells, who played Mary Anne, made sure her contract gave her a small royalty no matter how long the show repeated. The studio didn't care, because even they didn't think it would be repeated. She was right-- nobody ever got tired of the show. It has been running continuously for more than 50 years, and her royalties have added up to tens of millions of dollars. What an amazing deal... be sure to know YOUR worth!

World-famous fighter Conor McGregor said about his wife! "We've been together for 8 years and we live in Ireland, 30 miles from Dublin, in a rented apartment. I didn't work because I spent all my time training. It's always been my dream to be a hero. She believed in me and despite the lack of money, I made an effort to take care of my diet, and I had to eat athlete's food and respectable food. She always took care of me and encouraged me. When I came home from an intense workout, no energy and tired, she would always tell me, “Conor McGregor, I know you can do this and it will work.” Now I make millions of dollars fighting in matches with between 50 and 70 thousand spectators. I can buy any car, any clothes, any house and yet she didn't ask me for anything, but she deserves the best in this world. She is always by my side and tells me that I can do anything! I got to this place because of her, she never gave up on me and she never left me alone."
