You think intelligence and grit can succeed by themselves, but I'm telling you that's a pretty illusion.

Your self-reliance, self-appraisal and self- perception depends on how successful you are at knowing who God has created you to become

Only a weak person needed someone else around all the time.

To be self reliance make your decision, assume your responsibility without any reservation & let you know the implication of your action.

When I have been unhappy, I have heard an opera... and it seemed the shrieking of winds; when I am happy, a sparrow's chirp is delicious to me. But it is not the chirp that makes me happy, but I that make it sweet.

If you think you can do it, or you think you can't do it, You are right.
