Each day acquire something that will fortify you against poverty, against death, indeed against other misfortunes as well; and after you have run over many thoughts, select one to be thoroughly digested that day.

Seneca
About This Quote

The earlier you start something, the more time you have to work on it in your spare time. If you want to be a good writer, read a lot of books and write for yourself. If you want to be a good investor, learn about finance. If you want to be a good parent, learn about being a parent. You can’t master any of these things overnight, so why try?
