Bold

People with strong wills are fancied by many who see boldness as a valuable trait. The ability to stand tall and exhort an opinion is, indeed, an important and necessary human characteristic. But do not be deceived. Bold does not make a person right. It does, however, make for a great tasting cup of coffee.

Success

If you want to succeed, you should dream. But do not dream small. Dream large. To dream small is to place little hope in attaining that for which you are destined. Dreaming big galvanizes your goals placing you on the path for self-fulfillment and success. But do not dream too long. That is called sleep.

Love and Wine

Love is like a fine wine. Subtle yet robust. Gracefully aged yet exuberantly young. Powerful and delicate. Sweet and savory. If wine were any less of a metaphor, it would be a metathree.

Reactions

Take time to ponder your responses to the world around you. Acting hastily often brings unnecessary and avoidable consequence. Trust your mind to the little bit of time it takes to think. But don’t think too long. A lack of speed can also bring unnecessary and avoidable consequence. So how does one determine how long to take in deciding the proper actions?
I’ll have to get back to you on that.

Respect

We sometimes forget that hearts and dreams are fragile things. Be sensitive to others around you. For everyone knows it is far easier to knock a person down than to lift a person up. And lifting someone up not only requires more effort, but you could easily hurt your back if you don't practice safe body mechanics.

Be Aware

Beware of those who use obscure words to make a point. Often, these verbal gymnastics are a charientism and a certain sign of arrogance and pretentious petty pedagogy. But what do I know? I’m an ultracrepidarian.

The Heart

Know that you are an individual with ideas and hopes and dreams. You are a soul worthy of love and attention with a heart that beats like anyone else’s. If the world tosses you an indifferent glance or a cold shoulder, don’t fill your heart with their hurt. Fill your heart with blood, which is required.
