Unique - Like everyone else.

I spoke with my cousin on Facebook last night, and was reminded of what one of my professors in college used to say: "You are unique, just like everybody else." Always liked that sentence, and the lesson it brought. Another bit of wisdom was "everyone has the right to make mistakes, even if they knowingly make them."

I also find myself quoting Dr.Phil, as much as I hate to, and say: "You can not change what you do not acknowledge!"

I love short, right to the point, lessons like that.
