Great losses are great lessons.
No man is brave that has never walked a hundred miles. If you want to know the truth of who you are, walk until not a person knows your name. Travel is the great leveler, the great teacher, bitter as medicine, crueler than mirror-glass. A long stretch of road will teach you more about yourself than a hundred years of quiet introspection.
After awhile you realize that putting your actions where your mouth is makes you less likely to have to put your money where your mouth is.
After you hear and listen. First must come desire. Second must come willingness. Third should come understanding. Fourth should come progression and with progression will come more understanding.
The most valuable lessons in life do not come when you are walking or running. They come when you fall down. You better take them and rise up!
