No one but you knows how hard you work, how many hours you put in behind the scenes, so rely on yourself for approval, not the outside world.

Thinking

The third-rate mind is only happy when it is thinking with the majority. The second-rate mind is only happy when it is think with the minority. The first-rate mind is only happy when it is thinking.

Humility

Why is humility a virtue? Because it avoids complacency and self satisfaction, and promotes a view that there is much to be learned, much to be improved, much to be sought out, much yet to be achieved, much to be admired, understood and perhaps emulated.

Good and bad

A mature person is one who does not think only in absolutes, who is able to be objective even when deeply stirred emotionally, who has learned that there is both good and bad in all people and all things, and who walks humbly and deals charitably with the circumstances of life, knowing that in this world no one is all-knowing and therefore all of us need both charity and love.
