If you ever find yourself sick, you remember this truth.
Without our health, what else do we have?
If you are able to recognize your shortcomings, and train them,
they are no longer your weaknesses, but actually points of strength
Sometimes, you don't need a revolutionary idea or project
Simple decisions of kindness can profoundly change the world.
Time is often the best medicine
Patience, the best dosage.
Do not fear a talented person that wastes his time in prideful boasting
Through time and dedication, the diligent shall result victorious
Often, we might find ourselves wishing we had better opportunities and better circumstances, or better tools and better schools, better mentors or better shelters
There is magic in making the most out of what you have. Don't let the circumstances restrict you in any way from being yourself, and becoming a Master
This is not about quarters. It's about you.
Honor your skills, talents, experience, and abilities.
Never sell yourself short.
Many people would effortlessly say "looks good" instead of giving good criticism
Giving criticism shows faith in someone's potential to do something greater. Embrace it.
Be very careful when dealing with heat, fire, passion, or desire.
Striking gold rarely happens on Day 1. Find your pickaxe. Gather your maps.
Keep going until you strike it rich. Do not stop 3 feet from gold.
