On Life and Personal Growth
- Life unfolds in seasons, and some seasons come but once. Embrace each one.

- On Family and Parenting
- Children teach us as much as we teach them.
- Children are not ‘half’ people, they are just smaller than adults. Parent to influence, not to control.
- Without friendship, respect, and acceptance , marriage is hard.

- On Career and Leadership
- Career success is fulfilling, but it’s not your identity.
- Leadership is about service, not status.
- A great mentor can change the trajectory of your life.
- Imposter syndrome never fully disappears—act anyway.
- In leadership, and life, really, lift others as you climb. It can get lonely at the top.
- You will never regret acting with integrity.
- No job is worth your health or peace of mind.
- Delegate—trying to do it all is a fast track to burnout.
- People remember how you make them feel, not just what you achieve.
- A strong network is an asset—nurture relationships.

- Not everyone will celebrate your wins; that’s okay.
- Forgiveness frees you more than the other person.
- Asking for help is a sign of strength, not weakness.
- Give without expecting anything in return—it’s the purest form of generosity.
- On Aging and Wisdom
- Aging is a privilege denied to many—embrace it.
- Beauty is about how you carry yourself, not just how you look.
- The older you get, the less you care about other people’s opinions—and it’s freeing.
- Your body will change; love it through every stage.
- Your peace is too expensive to be sacrificed for validation.
- Joy is found in the present moment, not in chasing the next milestone.
- The best legacy is the love, wisdom, and kindness you leave behind.
- Life is short—celebrate every moment, especially your birthdays!
