Life itself is a University, and you got to be a double major. Your first major is to challenge yourself to be something, just anything honourable, because society has no regard for insignificant people. So work hard to be a success story at whatever you do, and I emphasise, AT WHATEVER YOU DO. But don't lose sight of the fact that life's too damn short to not be silly when you need to.
Second major is; you need to work on being rid of decadence, by constantly working on your manners, morals and integrity, for the more successful you become, the more your pride in yourself, and often with contempt for others. But that's mostly thanks to those hypocrites and sycophants that you're likely to listen to. And perhaps part of the second major is knowing that one day you'll meet your Maker, and you wouldn't want to be damned on moral grounds.
The worst of losers is the one whose attachment to the fantasies of this world lures him into betraying his beliefs. And the wisest is the one who can contain his urge to transgress; the one who is not blinded by greed, knowing that having enough is when what you have is sufficient to keep body, mind and soul together.
