Being clear minded
"It is a fault to wish to be understood before we have made ourselves clear to ourselves." - Simone Weil How can you expect anyone to understand you when you are confused yourself? If not, you have some learning and thinking to do and decisions to make. Are you clear…
People who are given things are weaker

Things are seldom valued when they aren't earned
