As I Tell My Daughter,

Some People Help Thousands Of People Directly, Like Marie Curie Or Susan B. Anthony. Others Help Us By Inspiring Us, Like Amelia Earhart. But You Do Have To Help Someone.

On The Day My Daughter Was Born, I Started Writing A Book For Her. The Plan Was That, Over The Course Of Her Life, I'd Fill It With Advice On How To Be A Strong Woman. But Along The Way, I Got Caught Up In The Stories Of Amelia Earhart, Sally Ride, And So Many Others. So How Do You Pick The Best Heroes For Your Kids?

We Make A Great Bad Guy, And They All Say They Hate Us. But At The End Of Every Day, People Want To Trust Us. Because We're Their Government. And People Trust Their Government.

Stories Aren't The Beauty Of What Did Happen. They're The Beauty Of What Could Happen.

She Dumped Me For The Worst Reason Of All. For Absolutely No Reason At All...i Mean, If She Fell In Love With Someone Else, Or I Did Something Wrong, Or I Let Her Down In Some Unforgivable Way...that, I'd Understand, Right? But Instead, She Said...it Wasn't Anything. Not A Single Thing. It Was Just Me. I Was Nice. I Was Kind. We Just...she Didn't See The Connection Anymore. I Think She Thought I Was Boring. And The Cruelest Part Is, When Someone Says Something Mean About You, You Know When They're Right.
