To find out what one is fitted to do, and to secure an opportunity to do it, is the key to happiness.

I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me.

Education will not: the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent.
