Kindle Notes & Highlights
There is no known deadline for the ‘right time’, only the truth that it will come.
Always remember: the true test of any idea is not its popularity, but how deeply it makes you think.
Time passes, people leave, and you are the one who stays with yourself.
Your depending on others to make you feel worthy carries the equal risk of others making you feel unworthy.
You care so much about what others think about you because you are working under the assumption that people care about you just as much as you do.
Nobody cares unless they have a personal motive to care.
So, impress with abilities, not appearance.
Appreciation gives you momentary pleasure. Opportunities get you somewhere in life.
You were an unknown who talked to impressive somebodies.
You have to keep this word in mind: myself.
Self-respect in turn makes you feel that life right now is all right. It makes you feel proud of yourself for making decisions that you want to make.
While self-control takes care of inner demons, self-respect takes care of enemies outside.
Without self-respect, you leave yourself open for people to take over and become your authority.
You are a nation, not just a person.
Your parents, siblings and those you love are neighbouring nations.
What you do control is yourself, so why not put all of your focus there?
