If you want to improve, be content to be thought foolish and stupid. Vanity and pride are the enemy. Accept the occasional loss of a battle in exchange for winning the war. Do not make a display of your wealth; it can attract envious enemies. The best way to attract them is to be better than they think you are. The fool wants to be praised for what he will do; the wise man is praised for what he has done. Be prepared and don’t flinch when the inevitable occurs
