The universe doesn't know whether it’s good or evil.

One of the many definitions of intelligence is the ability to adapt to circumstances.

This last word is the most important one here.

Circumstances.

If you're smart, you realize that circumstances cannot be changed.

Instead, analyze how you can make them play in your favor.

This is not easy.

But it's necessary.

You need to be able to adapt and be flexible.

"Be water, my friend"

Go with the flow but don't lose your essence.

Mental strength comes through reflection, not pain.

If you don’t take the time to reflect on what you’ve seen or experienced, it does not make you stronger.

The greatest edge you can have is laser beam focus.

Many people lack focus. They cannot focus on one thing. They jump from one thing to another.

What apps do you use most on your phone?

Anyone in the world who is making an impact will be criticized.

If you have no critics, you likely have no success.

Surround yourself with mentors, not gurus.

If you were to travel the world, what's the first country you would visit?

The master of any game is generally the master of practice as well.

Rewards will always come to someone who commits to the practice, but the rewards are not the goal.

The practice is the goal.

What do you do for a job and how long have you been doing it?

To be psychologically balanced and centered depends heavily on being physically balanced and centered.

Youth is giving up your goals to stay with your friends.

Maturity is being ruthless with who you keep and remove from your life.
