Vision

This is the thing about vision. It does not, like greatness, diminsh with sharing. It only grows, infects and becomes larger than the person it comes from. Vision coupled with humility coupled with guts and the unwavering dint to make your vision a reality provides the fuel needed to work your ass off, and then some. Without vision and the guts and willingness to make effort we are nothing. And without humility there can be no wisdom.

Apathy

Apathy: there is a great danger in becoming so apathetic that you start feeling like the voice in your own head is one to be treated with apathy. Do not ever tread too far down this slippery slope, it will ruin you like a temptress that seduces you before devouring you.

'Let not your heart be faint, but like the sea be broad and deep...the world, not knowing you cannot contain you, but you knowing the world, can contain it.' Thus spoke Mirdad and thus wrote Naimy

Jealousy

Jealousy is the worst form of self-pity; and self-pity, in its best form does nothing but degrade the mind and burden the spirit.
