Transcript

Never tell a person to be strong when they to be weak. If somebody's drowning, then you save them, bring them to shore, and then you teach them how to swim. Listen, I'm all for tough love, but in a world that constantly attacks people, you could be someone's only refuge. We've all been there in life. You have a bad day, you get home and your parents give you a lecture, but sometimes all you need is a hug. Give them a chance to breathe, let them rejuvenate, and then teach them.
