Good choices create opportunities. Good habits make the most of them. - James Clear

Reading can teach you the best of what others already know.

Reflection can teach you the best of what only you can know.

A lack of self-awareness is poison. Reflection and review is the antidote.

Lucky opportunities are like grains of sand. They drift right past a limp hand, but an active palm can gather whatever is within reach and shape it into a little castle. It is the act of engaging with the material that gives it shape. You have to seize the moment.
