   In honor of Mother’s Day, TMC News asked members of the Texas Medical Center community: What’s the best advice your mother ever gave you?

“She has given me a lot of advice, but the one that I always remember — and I have it on my wall in my bedroom — is that happy girls are the prettiest. It just reminds me to be joyful and positive.”
