Recognize and embrace your flaws so you can learn from them. Sometimes it takes a little polishing to truly shine.
People will have a problem with whatever you do. At the end of the day, nobody can determine what you need to do in order to be successful and why would you listen to someone who is not successful tell you what you need to do?
Do everything you have to do, but not with ego, not with lust, not with envy but with love, compassion, humility, and devotion.
For one who has conquered his mind, a mind is best of friends, but for one who has failed to do so, a mind is the greatest enemy.
When a person responds to the joys and sorrows of others as though they were his own, he or she has attained the highest spiritual union.
It is not those who lack energy or refrain from action, but those who work without expectation of reward attain the goal of meditation.
No one should abandon duties because he sees defects in them. Every action, every activity is surrounded by defects as a fire is surrounded by smoke.
Never consider yourself the cause of the results of your activities, and never be attached to not doing your duty.
Surrender your self interest. Love others as much as you love yourself. Then you can be entrusted with all things under heaven. - Lao Tzu
