Do not be ashamed of help.

Whenever you want to cheer yourself up, consider the good qualities of your companions, for example, the energy of one, the modesty of another, the generosity of yet another, and some other quality of another; for nothing cheers the heart as much as the images of excellence reflected in the character of our companions, all brought before us as fully as possible. Therefore, keep these images ready at hand.

Don't be ashamed to need help. Like a soldier storming a wall, you have a mission to accomplish. And if you've been wounded and you need a comrade to pull you up? So what?

Never injure a friend, even in jest.

I would never blame a human creature for feeling lonely.

If you'll spend time praying for people instead of talking about them, you'll get better results.

Social Networking that matters is helping people archive their goals. Doing it reliably and repeatability so that over time people have an interest in helping you achieve your goals.

I do have a stylist who helps me shop, because I don't have time to shop.

May this be the year that things go your way most of the time, and when they don't, may you have great friends to lean on.
