A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
选择
Choice
What you always do before you make a decision is consult. The best public policy is made when you are listening to people who are going to be impacted. Then, once policy is determined, you call on them to help you sell it.
在做决定之前,你通常做的是咨询。最好的公共政策是当你倾听那些将要受到影响的人的意见时制定的。然后,一旦政策确定下来,你就会要求他们帮助你推销它。
I've realized that being happy is a choice. You never want to rub anybody the wrong way or not be fun to be around, but you have to be happy. When I get logical and I don't trust my instincts - Thats when I get in trouble.
我意识到快乐是一种选择。你永远不想惹怒任何人,也不想让周围的人不开心,但你必须快乐。当我变得有逻辑,不相信自己的直觉时——那就是我遇到麻烦的时候。

In a time of tight budgets, difficult choices have to be made. We must make sure our very limited resources are spent on priorities. I believe we should have no higher priority than investing in our children's classrooms and in their future.
