Later I would find out that they had been going through a rough time and just went into some kind of "shell", or self-imposed isolation. I would often feel very bad about this and wondered why they didn't reach out to me or tell me. I would have been…

“Don’t allow your past or present condition to control you. It’s just a process that you’re going through to get you to the next level.” — T.D. Jakes. This quote means that you can’t let your current condition control your future. When I read this quote an example that I think of is school. In school you are in a certain grade, and you have to get through that grade to get to the next grade. School is something that relates to the quote. In school you go up a grade each year. Each time you move…

Rain Man tells us a story about how multiple psychological principles mix to create one socially nonfunctional but talented cocktail of a man and his emotionally cold and distant brother who has to learn to tolerate him and eventually love him, accept him, and even fight for custody of…
