Life is about balance. Be kind, but don’t let people abuse you. Trust, but don’t be deceived. Be content, but never stop improving yourself.

If you are positive, you’ll see opportunities instead of obstacles.

Expect Nothing and You will Never be Disappointed

“Instead of complaining about your circumstances, get busy and create some new ones.”

In disagreements with loved ones, deal with the current situation. Don’t bring up the past as that will only cause unnecessary resentment.

“When a flower doesn’t bloom, you fix the environment in which it grows, not the flower.”

“If you’re in the luckiest one percent of humanity, you owe it to the rest of humanity to think about the other 99 percent.”

You must not lose faith in humanity. Humanity is an ocean; if a few drops of the ocean are dirty, the ocean does not become dirty.

Don’t mistake silence for weakness. Smart people don’t plan big moves out loud.

“Discipline is the bridge between goals and accomplishment.”

“If it’s important you’ll find a way. If it’s not, you’ll find an excuse.”

Anyone can buy a good house, but good neighbors are priceless.

“Carry out a random act of kindness, with no expectation of reward, safe in the knowledge that one day someone might do the same for you.”
