Without habitual self-examination, you can be hypocritical, but not see it.

It's okay for someone to tell me who they think I am, but it's not okay when they try to impose that idea on me.

Be a control freak and people will avoid you. Live and let live, and people will get closer to you and do the same for you.

There are many things that you can avoid by just knowing something. Knowledge of self is the most notable knowledge I pursue. By knowing myself, I avoided dead dreams and a meaningless life.

The struggle hurts now but will be sweet in times of retrospect.

No one knows the future, but the present offers clues and hints on its direction.
