You cannot define a person on just one thing. You can't just forget all these wonderful and good things that a person has done because one thing didn't come off the way you thought it should come off.

Certainly I've had the experience of thinking a person was one thing, and finding out they were another.
There's so many things that people do on a daily basis that they do as a way of defining who they are. But really, what defines who you are is when circumstances push you to the edge.
Most of us have learned the hard way that there are very few things you can absolutely count on in life.
I started reading about people of great accomplishment... and it dawned on me suddenly that the person who has the most to do with what happens in your life is you.
I think we do good things and bad things, sometimes simultaneously - or they may be the same thing.
Who you are as a person has to do with what you think and how you feel. It has to do with how you love and how you care for people.
You should never be defined by what you do, by the things you have; you've got to define yourself by who you are and who you impact and how you impact people. And that's the thing I try to get across to my players.
People who truly love us can be divided into two categories: those who understand us, and those who forgive us our worst sins. Rarely do you find someone capable of both.
Certain stories we carry with us, events in our life, they define who we are. It's not a matter of getting over anything; we have to make the best of it.
A human being is a single being. Unique and unrepeatable.
