I think that somehow, we learn who we really are and then live with that decision. - Eleanor Roosevelt

If someone betrays you once, it’s their fault; if they betray you twice, it’s your fault.

Do the things that interest you and do them with all your heart. Don't be concerned about whether people are watching you or criticizing you. The chances are that they aren't paying any attention to you. It's your attention to yourself that is so stultifying. But you have to disregard yourself as completely as possible. If you fail the first time then you'll just have to try harder the second time. After all, there's no real reason why you should fail. Just stop thinking about yourself.

Today, living and learning must go hand in hand. Each new bit of knowledge, each new experience is an extra tool in meeting new problems and working them out.
