Those who are at war with others are not at peace with themselves.

I’m a very strong believer in listening and learning from others.

Every day, I wanna work on being a better person, not just to others but to myself.

Bullying has always been around and there will always be people who thrive on the hurt they cause to others.

There are two types of poor people, those who are poor together and those who are poor alone. The first are the true poor, the others are rich people out of luck.
The underlying message of the Neighborhood is that if somebody cares about you, it’s possible that you’ll care about others. ‘You are special, and so is your neighbor’ – that part is essential: that you’re not the only special person in the world. The person you happen to be with at the moment is loved, too.
There are no words to express my sorrow and regret for the pain I have caused others by words and actions. To the people I have hurt, I am truly sorry.
