The best teachers are the ones that have failed the worst. The best teachers are the ones that have been through the darkness and learned how to come out better on the other side. The best teachers are the ones that can take their mistakes and offer them to others as lessons to be learned from and not repeated.  

Relationships are everywhere and the basis of everything. We need them in the workplace, we need them in our families, we need them in our communities, we need them in our lives, period.
