I never forget a face

Understand: people judge you by appearances, the image you project through your

actions, words, and style. If you do not take control of this process, then people will see

and define you the way they want to, often to your detriment. You might think that

being consistent with this image will make others respect and trust you, but in fact it is

the opposite—over time you seem predictable and weak. Consistency is an illusion

anyway—each passing day brings changes within you. You must not be afraid to

express these evolutions. The powerful learn early in life that they have the freedom to

mold their image, fitting the needs and moods of the moment. In this way, they keep

others off balance and maintain an air of mystery. You must follow this path and find

great pleasure in reinventing yourself, as if you were the author writing your own

drama

There's no meaning to a flower unless it blooms.

It’s not death that I fear, it’s being comfortable in a cloud where nothing ever happens
