"If one human can do it, so can another". For when a task or acquiring new knowledge/skills seems like a monumental feat. "Success is the best form of revenge". Having never felt like I really fit in anywhere (except maybe at art school) throughout life, having people say I'd amount to nothing, people laughing at my shared thoughts/perspectives, being told what I'm doing is the wrong way, that my take on something is stupid even if I spent time researching and/or combined held knowledge/experience, finding out others think I'm weird for my takes and/or for being quiet... this comes across as angsty but it's been my reality for the last 32 years, and it's never fun or a good feeling to face. But boy does it feel good to have surpassed those low held bars and the high ones I've set for myself. Additionally, it feels good to say "I told you so" without ever saying it. Never seek revenge, just better yourself. It's more worthwhile. "Never chase". Whether it's money, someone you're interested in, and especially assets, among other things. If you're chasing, it's either too late or wasn't meant to be. "Do things from the heart and with a clear mind, never for luxury or money". If it feels right, is something you have interest or passion in, and reasoning says it's good to pursue, do it. Benefits will follow, whether that's money or otherwise. "Anything is possible, but nothing is perfect". Paradoxical, but a reminder to self that you can achieve more than you limit yourself to, but also a reminder that perfection is impossible. "Be kind, but not a pushover". "Be too nice and people will take you for a dummy". Manners, kindness, being polite, etc are important imo, but people will take advantage of that until you put your foot down.
