A Saying From The Area Of Chinese Medicine Would Be Appropriate To Mention Here: "one Disease, Long Life; No Disease, Short Life." In Other Words, Those Who Know What's Wrong With Them And Take Care Of Themselves Accordingly Will Tend To Live A Lot Longer Than Those Who Consider Themselves Perfectly Happy And Neglect Their Weakness.

The Play-it-safe Pessimists Of The World Never Accomplish Much Of Anything, Because They Don't Look Clearly And Objectively At Situations, They Don't Recognize Or Believe In Their Own Abilities To Overcome Even The Smallest Amount Of Risk.

There Are Things About Ourselves That We Need To Get Rid Of; There Are Things We Need To Change. But At The Same Time, We Do Not Need To Be Too Desperate, Too Ruthless, Too Combative. Along The Way To Usefulness And Happiness, Many Of Those Things Will Change Themselves, And The Others Can Be Worked On As We Go. The First Thing We Need To Do Is Recognize And Trust Our Own Inner Nature, And Not Lose Sight Of It.

We Don't Need To Shift Our Responsibilities Onto The Shoulders Of Some Deified Spiritual Superman, Or Sit Around And Wait For Fate To Come Knocking At The Door. We Simply Need To Believe In The Power That's Within Us, And Use It. When We Do That, And Stop Imitating Others And Competing Against Them, Things Begin To Work For Us.
