"Like it or not, everything that happens in this moment is the result of decisions made in the past. Unfortunately, a good part of our choices are not conscious, and because of this we don't even think of them as decisions - but they are. He who has been offended is likely to be offended. He who is praised will surely blossom and be filled with satisfaction. But let's think about it: these are also decisions between options. The person who has been offended can decide whether to be offended. The person who is praised can also decide whether to let the flattery affect him or not.

""Akár tetszik, akár nem, minden, ami e pillanatban történik, a múltban hozott döntések gyümölcse. Sajnos választásaink jó része nem tudatos, és emiatt nem is gondoljuk azokat döntéseknek - pedig azok. Akit megsértettek, valószínűleg megsértődik. Akit megdicsérnek, bizonyára kivirágzik és elégedettség tölti el. De gondoljuk csak át: ezek is választási lehetőségek közti döntések. Akit megsértettek, eldöntheti, hogy megsértődik-e. Akit megdicsérnek, ugyancsak eldöntheti, hogy engedi-e hatni magára a hízelgést."
