Focus, Compassion, Development
How many cataclysms happen within the seed before it sprouts, how many obstacles before the flower blooms? Keep your head up, focus on your goals. Be kind to your fellow man.

Try Not to Limit Yourself to -ists and -isms
Single words can sum up no one. The truly wise can bleed from one -ism into the next; be many -ists at once.
