Don’t be too good. You can say ‘No’ to things you do not wish to engage in doing. Do not try to pursue those things which you can not attempt.

No more considering appearances, and do not feel guilty, everyone has the right to refuse something.

This is what I want for every woman: every choice you make in your adult life should be entirely your decision: whether you need this dress, who you would like to share this meal with when to get married, and if you want children at all.

It is almost certain that the very purpose of existence is to be happy. It is commonly heard and can be interpreted as: if life is not a happiness of sorts, then what is the point?

Avoid anything that can bring you sadness.
