You imagine yourself way off in the future, or living in a different country or as a different person. The aim is to have that feeling of detachment, of stepping outside yourself, by whatever means you can. You can achieve the greatest heights only through detaching yourself from the things that matter to you to a certain ...

On your last day of your life, the person you became will meet the person you could have become. To become the person you can become, you do not need to add more things  -  you need to give some of them up. There are certain things that are universal, which will make you a better person ...

If you fall, get up. If you fall again, get up again. Fight, Run, Finish. You did all the time, when you were younger. You learned to talk, to walk, to eat, and do all the basics in this manner. You tried something and it did not work. You might have thrown a brief fit, but ...
