Anyone of my age knows that days pass

at a far greater speed than when they were young.

—Prince Charles

People always ask me, “You have so much confidence.

Where did that come from?” It came from me.

One day I decided that I was beautiful, and so I carried

out my life as if I was a beautiful girl.

—Gabourey Sidibe, actor

Like most people, what I find

irritating in others are my own faults.

—Jools Holland, musician

POINT TO PONDER

It’s so easy to be negative in this world and to say no.

Yes is so much better. You say yes when you have your first kiss,

when you want to make someone feel good,

when you open yourself to new experiences. I always say

yes—sì, sì, sì!—and it makes every day better.

—Andrea Bocelli, singer
