Once you begin discovering opportunities amidst criticism, you have already overcome half the challenges in your life, leading to a less worrisome existence.
Life is to serve!
Do not try to learn many things rather learn one thing in many ways.
You will only grow(be happy) when you are not influenced by anyone(anything).
Learn from the people around you even if they have a different point of view. You just have to sit and listen to others without any motive for argument. You will be amazed at how much you can learn in one conversation. Make your mind work like a strainer, which takes only the good part and removes the lousy part silently.
