"I have come to the frightening conclusion that I am the decisive element. It is my personal approach that creates the climate; my daily mood that makes the weather. I possess tremendous power to make life miserable or joyous. In all situations, it is my response that decides whether a crisis is escalated or de escalated, and whether a person is humanized or de-humanized." - Goethe
