Any definition of a successful life must include service to others.

Kill your enemies with success and bury them with a smile.... Never fails.

No matter the situation, never let your emotions overpower your intelligence.

The seeing is instant. The recognition can be instant but it will take some time to stabilize the mind into the heart completely.

I have a personal motto that I live by, which is feel the fear and do it anyway. If you fail, you get up and you keep trying again.
