Never sell tomorrow short. There's plenty to get excited about. Be filled with expectation, hope and confidence. Believe something good is going to happen - and it usually will.

Never bring the problem solving stage into the decision making stage. Otherwise, you surrender yourself to the problem rather than the solution.
Interpretation
What this quote means
Focus on solutions rather than getting bogged down by problems during decision making.
This quote emphasizes the importance of separating the processes of problem-solving from decision-making. When you allow the complexities and difficulties of a problem to distract you during the decision-making phase, you risk becoming fixated on the issue itself instead of exploring viable solutions, which can hinder progress and effectiveness.

For young women, I would say don't worry so much about your weight. Girls spend way too much time thinking about that, and there are better things. For young men, and women, too, what makes you different or weird-that's your strength. Everyone tries to look a cookie-cutter kind of way, and actually the people who look different are the ones who get picked up. I used to hate my nose. Now I don't. It's OK.
