Not depending on how she would like to have the air of self-assured confidence, nothing could prevent her from dreaming of getting a hidden pleasure from it.

Nobody can develop a personality unless he undergoes revolutionary experiences. The extent of those experiences differs, of course, from person to person, as does the capacity to lead a life that is truly personal and unique.

Of course, you are who you are. But you can be a hundred different versions of yourself. You decide whether you’ll be a lazy bastard or a person who dedicates his/her life to making a difference in this world.
