Follow the three R’s: Respect for self, respect for others, responsibility for all your actions
There is only one time to wake up…now.
One of the joys of life is beginning. Learning anything is a new beginning and a human evolution. Pride is the greatest obstacle to learning. This is why children, without self-awareness and ego, learn most easily and why some vain adults cannot learn at all.

“It is in your act that you exist, not in your body. Your act is yourself, and there is no other you.”
“The real task is to succeed is setting man free by making him master of himself.”
Antoine’s de Saint-Exupery, Flight to Arras.
Pompousness needs to be punctured.
Life is juicy, with treasures to satiate desires both subtle and gross. Eat it up.

Some people travel and have been nowhere. Some have traveled little but have seen. Foreign places cosmopolitan and isolated, opulent and poor or remote, unique and populated, may all embody elusive truths that we seek or need. But the reality of life is that we only need the basics and want what is both infinite and ephemeral. The truths about places that are untouched by the outside world is that they can only hold up a tiny portion of the psychological mirror that will enable us to be objective, think new thoughts and encourage our imaginations to soar.

People generally take you at your own estimation of your own worth.
Praise and blame, gain and loss, pleasure and sorrow come and go like the wind. To be happy, rest like a great tree in the width of them all.
Happiness comes from within. If you choose to be happy, no one and no thing can ever take that happiness from you.

You can and must do better. Resting on past success is a sure road to failure. Doing things the same way without trying to improve yourself and your methods is boring and self-defeating. Keep pushing if you want to succeed and most of all expect to succeed. More is a self-fulfilling prophecy especially if you pursue it with passion.
A positive attitude toward life and aging tops all other life-extending strategies.
