one by one
The best thing you can do in your life is to invest in yourself. It is like finding a gold mine - but infinitely better. The material things you have can be taken away at any time, but the knowledge in your head is yours forever. It is a diamond beyond price. Why go through life amassing a fortune that others will take away from you? Why not build a different kind of fortune? A fortune that is yours to keep and share at your choosing.
But how do you gain wisdom? What must you do to have that priceless diamond in your mind? The answer is through self-discovery. You must see the world through the eyes of a child. Everything in your world must be new to you. You must ask questions and keep an open mind, for these are the things essential to any kind of learning. "Why?" and "How?" should be the words of your mantra - your friends in the quest for enlightenment.
With self-discovery comes the desire for continuous improvement. Repetition is the child of learning. For an hour every day, you must make a commitment to learn something new. Look for this knowledge wherever it takes you: books, the Internet, other people. It matters not as long as you learn something from it. Then practice, always practice, what you have learned.
Excellence is not hard to learn. All it takes is continuous self-discovery and the practice of it. Do not deny yourself this precious gift. Excellence is yours for the taking - reach out and grab it. Be the person you always wanted to be.
