I know it&#8217;s a good excuse but it was pre-meditated, deliberate and a necessary break. Let&#8217;s compensate it today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator is-style-dots\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>Wise words are fundamentally <strong>simple<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Simple to chew.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Simple to digest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most important of all, Simple to &#8216;last&#8217;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For the past few weeks, I myself was going through a soul-searching journey as I found myself on the edges of soul-crushing reality.  It was indeed exhausting, intrinsically painful, and too much to bear. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Well, one tweet saved my sinking titanic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>It was from one of my mentor<\/em><strong> Ryan Holiday.<\/strong> He tweeted,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote has-text-align-center is-style-large\"><p>&#8220;Be quiet, work hard, and stay healthy.
