~MARCUS AURELIUS

When you are ready to take action, get good at actually getting started. 

It doesn’t matter how you start — don’t get caught up in indecision and research. Instead, take action. 

A common argument tactic online, Ad hominem is when instead of giving a response to the argument, the person is attacked in a personal way, leading to the focus being the kind of person he or she is, rather than the actual content of the (now forgotten) argument.

...

It means being direct and straightforward in what we say and do, setting effective and healthy boundaries and asking for what we want or need.

When we aren’t able or willing to be assertive we end up living other people’s lives rather than our own.
