[...] Greatness is not easily within reach. Reality can be quite an expert in crushing the spirit. Jobs are scarce. Your first job could be a far cry from what you had silently hoped in your heart to be. Reality can crush dreams. There will be forces that will impede you from achieving your definition of success. These forces come in many forms. But as Nietszche said, “what doesn’t kill you, makes you stronger.” [...] [...] I will give you a talisman. Whenever you are in doubt or when the self becomes too much with you, apply the following test: Recall the face of the poorest and weakest man you have seen and ask yourself if the step you contemplate is going to be of any use to him. Will he gain anything by it? Will it restore him to a control over his own life and destiny? Then you will find your doubts and your self melting away. [...] [...] Serve because you are expected to serve. Serve because it is embedded in you. Serve because it is the only way to truly live. ***This are the exact words that I need to go on.
