The only way to deal with an unfree world is to become so absolutely free that your very existence is an act of rebellion.
Don’t take it personally when someone turns you down. Assume they are like you: busy, occupied, distracted. Try again later. It’s amazing how often a second try works.
Once you've accepted your flaws, no one can use them against you.
If you're not failing occasionally, you're not pushing hard enough.
