There are no knights in shining armor. The closest you will come to a knight in shining armor will be if you polish your own suit of armor and sharpen your own sword. Beware of all who want to “deliver” you from all that hurts, from that which is difficult, and from that which is costly.
Things that are difficult to achieve are usually worth achieving.
Quick fixes, hastily gained solutions, easy answers are usually flawed, and give rise (often quite slowly) to new, greater and unexpected problems than the quick solution tried to repair or address in the first place.
If you want something for nothing, it will be at the expense of someone who is getting nothing for something. Agree to work for very hard for everything you really want. Expect nothing for nothing. Anything short of this will usually prove to be fuel for future regret.
Appropriately tell your world (everyone you know, your schools, and your places of employment) who you are, what you want, what you expect. This is called “defining yourself.” If you do not define yourself clearly and appropriately, your world will tell you who you are, what you want and what to expect. Your world will define you if you do not speak up.
The hardest tasks in life are: loving an equal, rearing a child, being in a family business, keeping the appropriate and enduring devotion of your children, and avoiding fast food.
