It's always easy to blame others. You can spend your entire life blaming the world, but your successes and failures are entirely your own responsibility.” ― Paulo Coelho, Aleph “Don't be intimidated by other people's opinions. Only mediocrity is sure of itself, so take risks and do what you really want to do. Seek out people who aren't afraid of making mistakes and who, therefore, do make mistakes.” ― Paulo Coelho, Aleph 4 likes Like “If your rely only on experience, you'll simply keep applying old solutions to new problems. I know a lot of people who feel they have an identity only when they're talking about their problems. That way, they exist because their problems are linked to what they judge to be their history.” ― Paulo Coelho, Aleph
