You’re twenty-five now and feel you can’t afford to lose anymore. Let me tell you, by the time you reach thirty, you’ll find you can afford to lose even less. Since you’re not going to be able to afford losses anyway, make your decisions sooner and step into a main current sooner. Do your best to stay in that river and navigate your fate securely. This is also more in line with being true to yourself than wavering back and forth until the real “can’t afford to lose” stage arrives.

If everyone in a relationship focuses only on their own rights, the relationship is doomed to fail.
Focus more on your duties than your rights. #ReadingNotes#
