• What I worry about is working in this serial medium, where people are talking about your stories before they're done, we have this instant feedback loop now.

I had to leave for one instant to pull myself together after which I continued without saying anything.

• What's the difference between people who feel successful and people who feel they've failed? The answer is mindset: If you learn and grow from failure, suddenly it becomes a personal asset.

Instead they ask, How do I improve myself and continue to do that consistently over time?

• Everyone is in a hurry. The persons whom I lead in worship, among whom I counsel, visit, pray, preach, and teach, want shortcuts. They want me to help them fill in the form that will get them instant credit (in eternity). They are impatient for results. They have adopted the lifestyle of a tourist and only want the high points. . . . The Christian life cannot mature under such conditions and in such ways.
