What lies behind us

and what lies before us

are tiny matters compared

to what lies within us.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Anyone who has never

made a mistake has never

tried anything new.

I NEVER MAKE MISTAKES.

I THOUGHT I DID ONCE,

BUT I WAS MISTAKEN.

Avoid criticizing someone until you’ve

walked a mile in their shoes…

… That way you’re a mile away and

you’ve got their shoes!

May all your adversities be

temporary blips on your road to

success and self-actualization.

some fun!

Good luck in

TRSBM!

See you in the

halls, elevators,

some classes! Professor Schlanger
