If you want to amend your errors, you must begin by amending your philosophy.

For things to change you need to change. For things to get better you need to get better. The good news is you can change, you can get better and you can start right where you are at and you can go as far as you want to go.

Ignorance is not bliss. Ignorance is poverty. Ignorance is devastation. Ignorance is tragedy. And ignorance is illness. It all stems from ignorance.

Make measurable progress in reasonable time.

Use your past as one of your mentors.

Don't ask for security, ask for adventure. Better to live 30 years full of adventure than a 100 years safe in the corner.

For every promise, there is a price to pay... If the promise is clear, the price is easy.
