Excellence is not a gift, but a skill that takes practice. We do not act ‘rightly’ because we are ‘excellent’, in fact we achieve ‘excellence’ by acting ‘rightly.’

Mind your own business
Never discourage anyone…..who continually makes progress, no matter how slow.
Plato
Don’t discourage people that are working on themselves! Motivate them or leave them alone but don’t you dare to speak low of someone who actually tries and makes a difference, no matter how small.

A bit of Sunday Courage
Courage is knowing what not to fear.
Plato
Courage is not absence of fear nor is it liking fear. It is to know your fears and to be able to live with them.
Know what you fear and know what certain things you just should not fear, no matter how you feel. You can do that, I’m sure!
