Other people's opinions of you are none of your business.
Blaming others is excusing yourself.
While we cannot choose how we will die, we can always choose how we will live.
If your outer life is really a reflection of the quality of your inner life, then it's a brilliant move to spend at least an hour a day working on yourself.
Brilliant results don't just show up by chance. The finest things in life take patience, focus and sacrifice.
Success is all about consistency around the fundamentals.
