It's a funny thing about life if you refuse to accept anything but the best, you very often get it.
I believe that a simple and unassuming manner of life is best for everyone, best both for the body and the mind.
Sometimes when you innovate, you make mistakes. It is best to admit them quickly, and get on with improving your other innovations.
This is the precept by which I have lived: Prepare for the worst expect the best and take what comes.
In times of great stress or adversity, it's always best to keep busy, to plow your anger and your energy into something positive.
