Do not enter upon a task through momentary compulsion of some impulse. The impulse might appear very respectable, but you should not let yourself be dragged by it.

Do not shape your conduct with an eye on the opinion of others. Instead, follow bravely, gladly and steadily the sweet and pleasant promptings of your own gentle and good manners.

Even an ounce of experience is more useful than a ton of learning! Many people lecture hours after hours things that are learned by rote.
