1. You can not judge yourself, as you can only be judged by those around you.

2. Do not get angry with people when they do you wrong, doing so will only direct your energy in a less than productive way, and its better to just move on refocusing on your goals and future directions in a positive way.

My father once told me that even if we fall several times in life, do not be discourage in life since it's not the end of it.
From that statement, I realized that every time we fall, we learn something from that and from the lessons we learn, we improve ourselves to become a better person. Keep fighting the challenges that life faces, keep moving forward to reach our goals.

"Give them enough rope and they will hang themselves"

This always made me weigh up the positives and negatives before making rash decisions or acting on an impulse.

It also still gives me hope that even if people are doing bad things or doing wrong by others and getting good results, they will eventually all have to answer for their actions or face the consequences.

The wheel always turns and we will always get what is due to us.
