Empty your mind, be formless. Shapeless, like water. If you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. You put water into a bottle and it becomes the bottle. You put it in a teapot it becomes the teapot. Now, water can flow or it can crash. Be water, my friend.

Pessimism blunts the tools you need to succeed.

Do not pray for an easy life, pray for the strength to endure a difficult one

He who wants to succeed should learn how to fight, to strive and to suffer. You can acquire a lot in life, if you are prepared to give up a lot to get it.

The meaning of life is that it is to be lived, and it is not to be traded and conceptualized and squeezed into a patter of systems.
