We are supposed to forgive everyone; everyone includes ourselves.
Real motivation is that drive from within: You know where you are going because you have a compelling image inside, not a travel poster on the wall.

Never become so much of an expert that you stop gaining expertise. View life as a continuous learning experience.
Unless what you say benefits the other person, don't say it.
