Making Money

Once one’s feet are stuck on the path to wealth, the scantest few manage to pry themselves from it.

The true responsibility of parents is to raise their children to be capable of safely making their own way in the world, and not to remove every obstacle from their paths.

It is certainly good to be confident in what you are doing because self-doubt is destructive of peace of mind. But it is better to first be self-critical and to reflect on what you are doing.
