Hope is a path on the mountainside. At first there is no path. But then there are people passing that way. And there is a path.
Whenever you set a goal of any kind, you will have to grow and develop to the point where you are ready to achieve it.
Successful people are always looking for opportunities to help others. Unsuccessful people are always asking, What's in it for me?

I think people are lonely and desperate for attention and unemployed and bored. I don't mean that these are losers that live with their mom, although that is true for many of these people.

The internet has both freed people up to connect with each other and isolated them.

My family truly believes they are better cooks than I am. They see me as Giada, not as a celebrity chef. To them I'm just me - their granddaughter, niece, etc. , and they're older and wiser. I like that because it keeps you grounded.
