Thomas Sowell

Er zijn twee manieren om je leven werkelijk inhoud te geven. Je kunt hier op elk moment mee beginnen. Je kunt een belofte doen en je eraan houden. Je kunt jezelf een doel stellen en eraan werken. Wanneer je jezelf tot iets verplicht, al is het maar iets kleins, leg je de basis voor innerlijke zuiverheid. Hieraan kun je een besef van zelfbeheersing ontlenen, en je kunt er de kracht en moed uit putten om meer verantwoordelijkheid te nemen. Door jezelf en anderen iets te beloven en dat geleidelijk te ontwikkelen, wordt je eergevoel sterker en zijn je stemmingen niet meer zo bepalend.

And if you’re going to hate something, hate the false idea that you are not capable of your dreams.
