a few seek it in the exploration of their own minds,
or in search for knowledge.

ignorance and crime, and dries up
all the fountains of joy in the world.

If I feel incompetent I will think of past success.
If I feel insignificant I will remember my goals.
Today I will be the master of my emotions.
