From the Definitive Guide to Life:
-THE DEFINITIVE GUIDE TO LIFE
(125 proverbs to live by)
The Definitive Guide to Life is one of the best works I have seen in a long time. It was submitted to Life and Death anonymously on a few scraps of paper, but I wouldn't let this put you off. Truly, it is a work of rare beauty and insight, brilliantly distilling the very best wisdom from the entire three thousand years of human history.
By far the greatest thing about this particular guide is its brevity, allowing the reader quick and easy access to its treasures without having to wade through unnecessary padding. All you ever wanted to know about life is now right at your finger tips! Read and enjoy.

Guide to Life
This reminds me of the movie (and the person) "Ed Wood."THE DEFINITIVE GUIDE TO LIFE
8.
Have the courage to believe in yourself.
Don't listen to other people.
Let nobody deter you from doing what you believe is right.
Ed Wood made movies. To call his movies mediocre would be to vastly overstate their quality. They were terrible.
But he made them because he believed in himself. He didn't let the many people who didn't like his films stand in his way. He kept right on making them.
