Knowing Yourself

I think that one of the most important fundamental ingredients to being happy in life and being successful is to be realistic about yourself, your preferences, and also your strengths and weaknesses that everybody has.

I think the system, particularly the education system and the way people behave, often stand in the way of that. They have to be terrific in all respects; they're embarrassed about not being strong at something or not knowing something, and that's a great barrier.

If you can get over that barrier, then you can be free to be yourself. You also can understand how to then be successful by knowing, for example, that if you have a weakness, how you can go get the strength by getting help from other people.

So, if you can understand what you're like, then you can understand the path in your life that is going to suit what you're like. You can also be able to overcome your obstacles and be successful.

Everybody has the power to be as successful as their potential allows, and that's a lot. They just underlive their potential because of those other barriers that they can get around if they accept that they can get around them and they're not embarrassed by them. They deal with them in a forthright way.
