To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.

The most effective way to do it, is to do it.

I can, therefore I am.

Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

Never complain and never explain.

Wherever you are - be all there.

Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
