When you are young spend at least 6 months to one year living as poor as you can， owning as little as you possibly can， eating beans and rice in a tiny room or tent， to experience what your “worst” lifestyle might be. That way any time you have to risk something in the future you won’t be afraid of the worst case scenario.

The world perishes not from bandits and fires, but from hatred, hostility, and all these petty squabbles.

You must take personal responsibility. You cannot change the circumstances, the seasons, or the wind, but you can change yourself.

The best performances come from a place of honesty and vulnerability.
