“Sometimes what we want isn't what we need.”
― The Darkest Night
― The Darkest Night

“As important as your obligations as a doctor, lawyer or business leader will be, you are a human being first. And these human connections with spouse, with children and with friends are the most important investments you will ever make. At the end of your life, you will never regret not having passed one more test, not winning one more verdict, or closing one more deal. You will regret time not spent with a husband, a friend, a child or a parent. One thing will never change. Fathers and Mothers, if you have children, they must come first. You must read to your children, you must hug your children and you must love your childrenâ€�. Your success as a family, our success as a society depends not what happens at the White House, but what happens inside YOUR house.”
