“You are not in competition with anybody except yourself;plan to outdo your past not other people.”

“There is no need of any competition with anybody. U R yourself, and as U R, U R perfectly good. Accept urself”

“The reward that outdoes all others is the peace of knowing that you did right.”

“Invest in yourself. Invest in self-discipline. Invest in self-satisfaction. Have complete control over your own thoughts and convictions, and never stop aiming to outdo yourself.”

“Just be true to yourself, and listen as much as one is able to to other people whose opinions you respect and look up to but in the end it has to come from you. You can’t really worry too much by looking to the left and the right about what the competition is doing or what other people in your field are doing. It has to be a true vision.”

“When you by nature subscribe to the view that everyone except yourself is a berk or a wanker, it is hard to bond with anybody in any rational common cause.”
