“My message is that happiness is the first principle of life. But you must choose it. We all have pain, but suffering is a choice. You can be happier if you make some changes in your life.”

“You can sometimes avoid costly mistakes. Paint a corner of the room a certain color to see how the light affects it. Or buy just one yard of an expensive fabric to see how you like it in your room.”

“You can't be a resource for others unless you nourish yourself.”

“I am a much happier 27-year-old than I was at 20 years old. I am so fortunate because I have an amazing family, amazing friends and a great support system.”

“I'm happier because I had to face what all of us try not to face: that we're going to die. It's a fact.”

“I couldn't be happier in San Jose. They're a class organization.”
