One of the best means for arousing the wish to work on yourself is to realize that you may die at any moment. But first you must learn how to keep it in mind.
Personality in man is what is “not his own” . . . what come from outside, what he has learned, or reflects, all traces of exterior impressions left in the memory.
Remember you come here having already understood the necessity of struggling with yourself — only with yourself. Therefore thank everyone who gives you the opportunity.
