  1. Better to do your own than thinking someone from outside will solve your home problems, there will never be anyone to love you more than himself nor your own household.
    Forget about receiving but work hard to achieve your goal of course you need to work extra hard and sacrifice a lot to succeed it is not a joke, the reason why jokers never achieve anything.
