Advice Quote by Arthur Daigle
““Haven't you ever heard people say just be yourself? That’s terrible advice! What if a man was a drunken, illiterate bigot? Being himself would be the last thing anyone around him would want. Fine, so what should you do? Be better. Be superior to who you were the day before, the week before, the year before. Learn, grow, improve, and never stop, because the day will come when people need you to be better for their sake and your own.””
