Try not to become a man of success, but a man of value. Look around at how people want to get more out of life than they put in. A man of value will give more than he receives. Be creative, but make sure that what you create is not a curse for mankind.
It takes courage to grow up and become who you really are.

Obstacles are what you see when you take your eyes off your goals.
Make glorious and fantastic mistakes.
