Few books tempt me to re-read them the minute I am finished but this was certainly one. The best way to remember it is to list some of my favorite quotes.
p.46 Talmud teaches: "Life is neither fair nor unfair; it is time and space that we have to fill with the best we can give, the best we can be."
p.81 "We do not control what happens to us, but we can control how we react. This is essential to stopping the pain in our lives."
p.94 "When Israel's army faced Goliath with swords and shields,fleeing soldiers moaned,"He's so big. How can we win?" When David faced the same giant with nothing more than a crude slingshot, he said, "He's so big. How can I miss?"
p.98 "We don't have to be world class to be a success. As a Yiddish proverb says, "The woods would be very silent if no birds sang except the best."
p. 153 Yiddish proverb: "When your only tool is a hammer, make every problem a nail."
p.156 "Saying thanks for anything makes us stop and become even more aware. As a Yiddish proverb says, "If you are going to be miserable when you are sick, be thankful when you are well."
p. 168 "Persistence is the key to getting what we want. Persistence is better than luck. Persistence is always in our control. Luck is not."
