"You have to believe in yourself, even when others don't."
You do not need to leave your room. Remain sitting at your table and listen. Do not even listen, simply wait. Do not even wait, be quite still and solitary. The world will freely offer itself to you to be unmasked, it has no choice, it will roll in ecstasy at your feet.
The main task in life is simply this: to identify and separate matters so that I can say clearly to myself which are externals not under my control, and which have to do with the choices I actually control.
你不可能取悦所有人,所以专注于做真实的自己。
The question you should be asking isn't, "What do I want?" or "What are my goals?" but "What would excite me?"
The deepest insights often come from unexpected places.
