Study the best and highest things that are; but of yourself humble thoughts retain.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The important thing is to concentrate upon what you can do - by yourself, upon your own initiative.
Work at being a humble person.
Find something that you're really interested in doing in your life. Pursue it, set goals, and commit yourself to excellence. Do the best you can.
Focus on the mind and the soul. Read. Study. Enrol in a course of lectures. Pray. Become a member of a religious congregation. Study the Bible or other ancient works of wisdom.
The habits of study in which I have been brought up have done much to support me. I never allow myself to be one moment unoccupied.
I always say be humble but be firm. Humility and openness are the key to success without compromising your beliefs.
Do everything to the best of your ability.
In quiet moments when you think about it, you recognize what is critically important in life and what isn't. Be wise and don't let good things crowd out those that are essential.
Practice radical humility. Take no credit for your talents, intellectual abilities, aptitudes, or proficiencies. Be in a state of awe and bewilderment.
Practise things you're good at. Keep on top of things you're not so good at, but be world-class at your best. Never think, 'I'm very good at this and that, I can leave those for a bit.'
