If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster… treat those two impostors just the same (from Rudyard Kipling’s “If”). Success and failure are both the just fuel of life. You are far more than what you do.

Avoid being aimless and mindless. If you can’t come up with a positive reason for why you’re doing something, don’t do it.

You need to inhale in order to exhale, and you need to do both to live. If you don’t read, your writing will suffer. Read too much without writing, and you'll hurt. You need to do both.

It is one’s ability to change (Albert Einstein). Change causes discomfort. Discomfort produces growth. Growth encourages learning. Learning brings happiness.
