Be more concerned with your character than your reputation.
Promise yourself that you will talk health, happiness, and prosperity as often as possible.
It's not what you teach, it's what you emphasize.
A life not lived for others is not a life, a game not played for others is not a game.
It is harmful to compare yourself to others. Others will do that for you.
Mix idealism with realism and add hard work. This will often bring much more than you could ever hope for.
