* We must learn that we cannot be loved by all people. That is the ideal. In the world of people, it is not often found. We can be the finest plum in the world, ripe, juicy, sweet, succulent and offer ourselves to all. But we must remember that there will be people who do not like plums.

* We must understand that if we are the world's finest plum and someone we love does not like plums, we have the choice of becoming a banana. But we must be warned that if we choose to become a banana, we will be a second-rate banana. But we can always be the best plum.
