This is what you shall do...

"This is what you shall do; Love the earth and sun and the animals, despise riches, give alms to every one that asks, stand up for the stupid and crazy, devote your income and labor to others, hate tyrants, argue not concerning God, have patience and indulgence toward people, go freely with uneducated persons and with the young and with the mothers of families,  re-examine all you have been told at school or church or in any book, dismiss whatever insults your soul, and your very flesh shall be a great poem and have the richest fluency not only in its words but in the silent lines of its lips and face and between the lashes of your eyes and in every motion and joint of your body."  ~ Walt Whitman

Expose yourself to as much humiliation as you can bear

"When you want something, go back and go back and go back, and don't take 'no' for an answer.  And when rejection comes, don't take it personally.  It goes with the territory.   Expose yourself to as much humiliation as you can bear, then go home and go do it all again tomorrow." - Betty Furness, Writer/Consumer Advocate
