Just when I think I have learned the way to live, life changes.
Almost any difficulty will move in the face of honesty. When I am honest I never feel stupid. And when I am honest I am automatically humble.
Negative feedback is better that none. I would rather have a man hate me than overlook me. As long as he hates me I make a difference.
To live for results would be to sentence myself to continuous frustration. My only sure reward is in my actions and not from them.
