- Invictus - 

I am the master of my fate

I am the captain of my soul 

William Ernest Henley 

Er is een principe dat bekendstaat als de wet van de economie. Dit is meer dan een theorie, het is een universele wet die door niemand kan worden gebroken. Wanneer iemand gaat jagen, zoekt hij een jachtgebied waar voldoende wild is. Als je op jacht gaat naar rijkdom, geldt dezelfde regel. Onthoud dit principe goed. 

Je wordt wat je gelooft. Niet wat je hoopt, wat je wenst, of wat je wilt. Je wordt waar je diep vanbinnen echt van overtuigd bent.

“If—” by Rudyard Kipling is a poem about growing into a strong, balanced and resilient person. It describes qualities such as staying calm when others lose control, trusting yourself without becoming arrogant, handling both success and failure, continuing after setbacks, and remaining true to yourself.

Its central message is:

If you can keep your head, persevere through difficult times and remain true to who you are, you will grow into a strong and well-rounded person.

The poem is often understood as a father giving advice to his son, but its message applies to everyone. In your text, the idea of continuing when you have everything and when you have nothing fits especially well.

Invictus

William Ernest Henley

1849 – 1903

Out of the night that covers me,   
   Black as the Pit from pole to pole,   
I thank whatever gods may be   
   For my unconquerable soul.   

In the fell clutch of circumstance 
   I have not winced nor cried aloud.   
Under the bludgeonings of chance   
   My head is bloody, but unbowed.   

Beyond this place of wrath and tears   
   Looms but the Horror of the shade, 
And yet the menace of the years   
   Finds, and shall find, me unafraid.   

It matters not how strait the gate,   
   How charged with punishments the scroll,   
I am the master of my fate:
   I am the captain of my soul.

This chapter marks "the end" of the old you and the beginning of your new adventure. Whatever you aren't satisfied with in your current (soon to be old) life, whether it be your grades, your friends, your habits, or anything else, is about to improve, and your struggles will soon be just a distant memory. In this short book you will learn everything you need to know to have total control of your life and create whatever it is that you want from your future. 

Some W.I.N.S. I had from the first chapter;

Being the best you can be is the best you can do for others. The power of setting a good example. Improving is not enough. Celebrate, validate small improvements during the process is the best you can do. 

Learn from people that are doing things better than you. 

Succes is the sum of all validated improvements. 

#SUCCESS
