Moral courage is a rarer commodity than bravery in battle or great intelligence, yet it is the one ingredient needed to change the world. Bobby Kennedy. Go Bobby!!.. Mornin Joe! :-)

Mornin Joe! :-) Hi Leigh I'm not a fan of most quotes but I've always loved this one. Im not wishing to sound pessimistic, but like you I am a parent and we are the answer to changing the world, hence I try to stick to something like that quote. Peace yo

I've learned that I'll never want another social worker ever again. Making me leave a place, knowing full well that it was already breaking my heart, is a very massive mistake, for me AND her, and her sordid little company. I wasn't mentally ready to leave, and that should have taught her something, but you must stand up for what YOU want, not what these socially workers want. I've been led to believe that they're just "trying their best to help vulnerable people". Funny how those people only end up worse after the social worker leaves the client. Always listen to what the patient/client wants. No wonder half of the world is screwed. There should be a ban on social workers. . So what you saying is " To thine own self be true"? That no one knows us as we know ourselves I have VERY few regrets. What I do regret is that " I" have taken some very... bad advice,in the past. When "I" knew better, and did NOT listen to myself or my instincts. So the negatively is at myself, not them. Ugh... we live & learn.

I've learned that people only hear what they want to hear. People want sincerity, not honesty.

Most want advice only if what you have to say already confirms what they are going to do

Calmer bites back. Be careful what you do or say. Always show love and be open. Never put people in labeled boxes.

I'��ve learned that I cannot always count on others to respect my feelings. Even if I respect theirs. Being a good person, doesn't guarantee that others will be good people too. You only have control over yourself on how you choose to be as person. And for the others, you can only choose to accept them, or walk away.
