"If you want to measure your accomplishments through physiology, do not look at your face in the mirror and judge whether you are attractive. Take a look at your hands; if there are calluses, you have worked hard and could be of great help to another human being in need. If they are smooth, even, and clean, you have taken good care of yourself and can look forward to what you will accomplish in your present and future determination. If you see colorful nails, tattoos, or a form of writing or drawing, creativity will earn you admiration in it's purest form. And if you wear a ring upon the third finger of your left hand, you have someone to whom you bring joy greater than many know. Do not scorn or take for granted what you have, for it will soon belong to someone who appreciates it."
