Action an ambition
It is necessary to distinguish ambition from action.
Action is natural, inherent in life; just as "eating" (and therefore hunger) is natural to all living beings.
But ambition is not natural, even as "craving for chocolate" is not natural.
Discipline
Self-discipline is the antidote to selfishness.
Only he who is unselfish can be disciplined.
Mass Acceptance
I am by nature an optimist, but I am realistic enough to be pessimistic when it comes to mass acceptance of any doctrine, thought, or ideology.
Ego
It is the ego that says, "I am egoless."
Light or Dark
Whether I face light or face darkness is left to me.
