In order to learn to be one's true self , it is necessary to obtain a wide and extensive knowledge of what has been said and done in the world; critically to inquire into it; carefully to consider it; clearly to analyze it ; and earnestly to carry it out.
It matters not what you learn, but when you once learn a thing, you must never give it up until you hava mastered it . It matters not what you inquire into, but when you once inquire into a thing , you must never give it up until you have thoroughly understood it . It matters not what you try to think of , but when you once try to think of a thing , you must never give it up until you have got what you want . It matters not what you try to carry out, but when you once try to carry out a thing , you must never give it up until you have done it thoroughly and well.
If another man succeeds by one effort, you will use a hundred efforts .If another man succeeds by ten efforts , you will use a thousand.
