How to be your own person

Don't wait around for anyone to do or give you anything. Be resourceful. Make your own money. Stick to your guns. Don't be afraid to make your own decisions, and do not be afraid to be wrong in them. If you are wrong, take it on the chin and keep going. Don't ask permission. Do not apologize unless you were rude. Do not get out of their way. Do not waver when your strength is insulted, they are only looking for weakness. No one is entitled to have you, to move you, possess you, block your way, or assume credit for any of your successes. You are mere humans; not gods, not monsters. You can belong to yourself, but you must be vigilant. You must prefer to stand alone than to sacrifice your independence for someone who would expect you to trade part of your identity for their help.
