That is, be systematically ascetic or heroic in little unnecessary points, do every day or two something for no other reason than that you would rather not do it, so that when the hour of dire need draws nigh, it may find you not unnerved and untrained to stand the test. So with the man who has daily inured himself to habits of concentrated attention, energetic volition, and self-denial in unnecessary things. He will stand like a tower when everything rocks around him, and when his softer fellow-mortals are winnowed like chaff in the blast."
"Don't let your ego put you in a compromising situation. Don't allow your pride to keep you from seeking the help you need. And don't give in to your fears. Stay focused."

"Do not indulge your weaknesses!"
"Why so eager to jump in and direct someone else's life when you can't stick to your own goals and resolutions?"
"The first person you have to conquer is you. This is because when at last you win over million people, the first person to bring you down could be you. Discipline yourself!"
