About the way to stand when other people lie about you: “My mother taught me that when you stand in the truth and someone tells a lie about you, don’t fight it. ”
Whitney talks about the value life: “I can tell you that I am not self-destructive. I’m not a person who wants to die. I’m a person who has life, who wants to live. And I always have. And I wouldn’t mistake it for anything else other than that.”

Let it go. Just let it go.”
Whitney Houston about God: “Oprah: Do you now know your own strength? Whitney: I know from whence my help cometh. I do know that. And I know that it’s strong within me. If ever I get low, I get weak, I know where I can turn to. I love the spirit of God so much that I’m not willing to trade that for anything. I’m not trading that for nothing. For nothing. Because I feel joy that I can’t even speak about. And peace that passes all understanding.

Steve Jobs About Happiness
Steve Jobs’ wise quotes that make us think how to live and to be happy.
“Quality is more important than quantity. One home run is much better than two doubles.”
In Steve’s famous speech for Stanford University graduation (2005) he says: “Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma – which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of other’s opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.”
“Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven’t found it yet, keep looking. Don’t settle. As with all matters of the heart, you’ll know when you find it.”
“Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart.”
“Be a yardstick of quality. Some people aren’t used to an environment where excellence is expected.”
“Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life.”
“For the past 33 years, I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself: “If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?”
“Have the courage to follow your heart and intuition.”
“Do you want to spend the rest of your life selling sugared water, or do you want a chance to change the world?
