What is your favorite quote? Why and how has it affected your life? When asked these two questions two quotes came to mind one on a serious matter by Gordon Hinckley. "Generally speaking, the most miserable people I know are those who are obsessed with themselves; the happiest people I know are those who lose themselves in the service of others...By and large, I have come to see that if we complain about life, it is because we are thinking only of ourselves." You can see how that quote can affect anyone’s life.  Observing people one can see the truth to this quote, people who are happy seem to be more worried about others more than themselves. People who are unhappy are always complaining and thinking of themselves. I am happiest when I am not worried about myself.  Speaking of thinking that leads me to the other quote I thought of by Thomas Monson. "Thinking is the hardest work anyone can do, which is probably the reason why we have so few thinkers." Which is the reason why doing this assignment is so hard since I am one of those stinking at thinking. Being a great mind you can come up with great quotes but so far I don’t know of anyone quoting me.
