Three Pillars of Real-World Wisdom

Avoid Assumptions

"Too often we do things for people that we would like but they might not. What's important to us might not be what's most important to those we're trying to help. I've learned to simply ask, 'How can I be of help to you?'" —Regina Brett, author of Be the Miracle: 50 Lessons for Making the Impossible Possible

Take Risks
"It is not logic that assists one in moving toward the yearnings of the heart, but faith and courage. In pursuing one's dreams, applying logic is often illogical." —Bronnie Ware, author of The Top Five Regrets of the Dying: A Life Transformed by the Dearly Departing
 
Cultivate Character
"The widespread belief among politicians and pundits is that high test scores are everything. I strongly disagree. What matters most is character. Working hard, treating others with respect and honesty—those are the keys to success." — Hal Urban, author of Life's Greatest Lessons: 20 Things That Matter
