“Do not leave your reputation to chance or gossip; it is your life’s artwork, and you must craft it, hone it, and display it with the care of an artist.”

If you have no enemies, find a way to make them.

Become who you are by learning who you are.

Mistakes and failures are precisely your means of education. They tell you about your own inadequacies.

Lord, protect me from my friends; I can take care of my enemies.

Life goes by very fast. And the worst thing in life that you can have is a job that you hate, that you have no energy in, that you’re not creative with and you’re not thinking of the future. To me, might as well be dead.

A lot of, a big problems that people have nowadays is that they can’t stand moments of no stimulation in their life so they’re constantly lurking, looking for entertainment, video games.

Only create associations with positive affinities. Make this a rule of life and you will benefit more than from all the therapy in the world.

Mastery is not a function of genius or talent. It is a function of time and intense focus applied to a particular field of knowledge.

If you’re really driven and you want something deep, hard enough in life, you’re going to get it.

All the most successful people nowadays who are truly successful and innovative in their field are not people motivated by money.

You cannot make anything worthwhile in this world unless you have first developed and transformed yourself.

We must create our own world or we will die from inaction.

The world wants to assign you a role in life. And once you accept that role you are doomed.

Grand strategy is the art of looking beyond the present battle and calculating ahead. Focus on your ultimate goal and plot to reach it.

You’re not going to be persistent and tenacious enough if you don’t love what you’re doing. If it’s not something that excites you, that appeals to you deep down inside.

Everybody in life is struggling for power, and some people use morality and righteousness as a weapon, while others use different means, even passive aggression. From a distance, we are all fighting, and I am looking at this from a distance.

Hope is a gift I hold in my heart. It spills into words and gets written into art.

You’re a work of art only just framed by my eager fingertips.

Its painful to see when your own people doesn’t support your artistic calibre. The very quality strangers call you extraordinary for.

I mastered the art of not caring and wow it made me more daring.

Thoughts on a tapestry. Colour or black and white. A brush, a pen, A flash of light. Ideas flowing soon, about to take flight.

The art of being a slave is to rule one’s master.

You thought you could take advantage of my heart. But I’ve mastered revenge and made it an art.

He took the pieces of my broken heart and turned them into a mosaic for his own viewing pleasure.
