Whatever you accomplish in life is a manifestation not as much of what you do, as of what you believe you deserve.
Ask for help. Not because you are weak. But because you want to remain strong.
You have to know what is right for you and go after it regardless of what others say.
When you are not pursuing your goal, you are literally committing spiritual suicide.
Do what is easy and your life will be hard. Do what is hard and your life will become easy.
Your smile will give you a positive countenance that will make people feel comfortable around you.
