1.I am the master of my fate.
I am the captain of my soul.
Don’t lose yourself even(and especially) when it seems too difficult to move ahead. The way to do so is having a strong faith in your principles.
From the poem—-Invictus—— by William Ernest Henley:
Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds and shall find me unafraid.
It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate,
I am the captain of my soul.
2. When you think it is over, it is the time to rise and fight again.
From the poem — Into the Fray —of movie “The Grey”
Once more into the fray
Into the last good fight I’ll ever know
Live or die on this day
Live or die on this day
3. You might become big, achieve big success but don’t forget your roots. Vanity would be your end.
From the poem — If —by Rudyard Kipling
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings—nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,
And—which is more—you’ll be a Man, my son!
