Friedrich Nietzsche

His writings lit a fire under me to become the person I know I am capable of becoming.

1. Find your purpose; he who has a why to live can bear almost any how. 2. Build a life in which you are a free agent; he who do not have most of his day for himself is a slave, whatever he may be: a statesman, a businessman, an official, or a scholar. 3. Learn how to think for yourself; minds which are prevented from changing their opinions cease to be mind.
