1.I am the master of my fate<\/strong>.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I am the captain of my soul.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don\u2019t 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.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

From the poem\u2014-Invictus\u2014\u2014 by William Ernest Henley:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beyond this place of wrath and tears<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Looms but the Horror of the shade,<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

And yet the menace of the years<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finds and shall find me unafraid.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It matters not how strait the gate,<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

How charged with punishments the scroll,<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am the master of my fate,<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am the captain of my soul.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. When you think it is over, it is the time to rise and fight again.<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

From the poem — Into the Fray —of movie \u201cThe Grey\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

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<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. You might become big, achieve big success but don\u2019t forget your roots. Vanity would be your end.<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

From the poem — If —by Rudyard Kipling<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Or walk with Kings\u2014nor lose the common touch,<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If all men count with you, but none too much;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you can fill the unforgiving minute<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

With sixty seconds\u2019 worth of distance run,<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yours is the Earth and everything that\u2019s in it,<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

And\u2014which is more\u2014you\u2019ll be a Man, my son!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
