When every one else is swayed by passion or emotions you must be able to be calm and unmoved. You must be in control of your self or you will never be fit to command anything but contempt.

If you are not happy with your current situation you must work all the harder to change. You must diligently perform the tasks assigned to you, while keeping in mind that the better pay, the better job, and the better life are waiting for you; you must simply be ready for the opportunity when it arrives. By not paying attention to the small details of your work and your life, the big details and opportunities will pass you by for someone who is more willing to perform.

Whatever task you may have occasion to set yourself to, work on it with all your might. Use scrupulous attention to detail, for if you can not be trusted to accomplish the small and mundane, you will not be trusted with the large and important.
