Thoughts: Strands that probably would not makes sense now or otherwise

Failure it's always a gateway to improvement.
When we lose things, less is more.
More becomes an abundance of useless things.
More become wants and we forget about necessities.
Wants are leisurely things, they're nice to have; others would agree to that.
What we do for people should not equate our value.
Just because you are accepted you should not be arrogant, you still can get kicked out.
Reliability is the best trait anyone can have.
Don't think of yourself as anything more than you are, and never think of yourself as anything less.

There was a list going through my head...I seem to have forgotten some.

Edit:
Any advancement good or bad is still a progression.
Nothing ever balances itself to a zero sum.
