"Early rising, honesty, and work. There is a great difference in merit between being awakened and waking up someone else. Working in the shadows and praising others is honesty. If you do not put into practice what you hear, you will become a lie. Work on top of work, saying to yourself, โJust a little more, just a little bit moreโ; this is not greed, it is work that comes from true sincerity."
