I believe that every single event in life happens is an opportunity to choose love over fear.

War is composed of nothing but accidents...there is but one favorable moment, the great art is to seize it.

Just being a human being, I've realized that before every big problem you create for yourself, before every huge mess you have to clean up, there was a crucial moment where you could've just said no.

Today, we still have more than 300,000 U.S. associates who were with us since 2015 and are now leading teams, running stores and clubs, and continuing to grow their careers. Their stories are a reminder that when people are given opportunity, they make the most of it - and a culture of opportunity creates a cycle where happy associates lead to happy customers and members, and vice versa.

We know that equality of individual ability has never existed and never will, but we do insist that equality of opportunity still must be sought.

Every decision, setback, or triumph is an opportunity to identify the seeds of truth that make you the wondrous human being you are.
