You don’t obtain excellence by doing the bare minimum.
It is better to keep your opinions of other people to yourself and not share those feelings with others. There is no reason for you to express your opinion concerning those in power. Mind your own business and keep your opinions to yourself.
If you are willing to allow someone else to be victimized, while you stay neutral or do nothing, then you are not only a coward, but you are part of the problem in this world.
Your enemies have to know that you are a formidable foe and that coming against you will cost them more than their effort is worth. With men of low character, it pays to maintain a reputation of being strong.
Sometimes things don’t turn out like we would like. So it is wise to prepare for the worst. I know this sounds like an oxymoron, to expect the best, but prepare for the worst, but it isn’t.
Men and women of principle do not lower their standards to satisfy their ego.
An enemy cannot betray you, as you already expect your enemy to try to bring you down. Only a trusted “friend,” acquaintance, or family member can betray you, and that is what truly makes betrayal so hurtful and sad.
Refuse to give up on your path because of the opinions of others. Refuse to be swayed by those who do not walk in your shoes and do not understand your journey.
Train to be able to defend yourself against any attack, and at the same time, retain your good heart towards other people. Don’t allow bad people to turn your heart hard, but always be ready to defend yourself should you have to.
You will find that if you will always stand for what’s right, your self-confidence will increase. The more you stand for your values, the easier it will become to stand against the pressures of life. Soon, you will become a rock that cannot be moved, even in the greatest storms.
Always find a way to profit from the actions of your haters. When they go low, use them as stepping stones!
If you are not currently living a life of inner peace, then your thoughts must be wrong on some level.
When someone stabs you in the back and then apologizes, accept the apology, but don’t give him the knife back to do it again!
Be independent of the opinions of others. Don’t be easily influenced by what they say or what they believe. You have to take the time to meditate on what you know is right and wrong. Know what your code of ethics is and do not allow the arguments of others to cause you to doubt what you know is right. You must remain true to your convictions, even if everyone else disagrees with you.
Stop worrying about what other people think and decide who you want to be, and then be that person. Worrying about what other people think puts you in chains and limits what you can do because you are constrained by fitting in the mold that others make for you. Break out of that mold and become independent of the thoughts of others.
There are many people in this world who depend on being able to control your mind and emotions. Once you learn to control your own mind, your emotions, and your feelings, you become very dangerous in their eyes because they can no longer control you.
Funny how those who can’t are always criticizing those who do.
Always think of your overall objective and the consequences of every action, no matter how small it may be.
Be above the negative energy of others. Refuse to allow their negativity to affect you. Instead, allow your positive energy to cancel their negative energy.
I am not a warrior because I know what to do in a fight. I am a warrior because I know how to behave in every situation.
It is not only the will to win, but the will to prepare that makes a difference.
