If you don't like how things are, change it! You're not a tree.
We must all suffer one of two things: the pain of discipline or the pain of regret or disappointment.
Better understated than overstated. Let people be surprised that it was more than you promised and easier than you said.
Your philosophy determines whether you will go for the disciplines or continue the errors.
Let others lead small lives, but not you. Let others argue over small things, but not you. Let others cry over small hurts, but not you. Let others leave their future in someone else's hands, but not you.
