You cannot open a book without learning something.
Wherever you go, go with all your heart.
If your ego starts out, 'I am important, I am big, I am special', you're in for some disappointments when you look around at what we've discovered about the universe. No, you're not big. No, you're not. You're small in time and in space. And you have this frail vessel called the human body that's limited on Earth.
