No limits, no expectations, and
Nothing is as important as we think It Is!
It Is what It Is, no more and no less!
An object and/or phenomenon is the both, more complex, but also simpler than what it appears at first! It is what it is, no more and no less!
Learn enlightening science and practice trade, but also take "eyes and heart" into delight of art and history of man, in the beauties of nature.
Be smart (thus happy:), know "Who You Are," and do not let others control your feelings, be "positively-selfish"! It is better to have real than imaginary problems. We often regret what we did not do in life (what we missed), and rarely what we did:)

... But It is NOT the strongest nor the smartest ...
It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent that survives. It is the one that is the most adaptable to change.
by Charles Darwin
“The difference between a successful person and others is not a lack of strength, not a lack of knowledge, but rather a lack in will.” - Vince Lombardi
Successful & happy people are open-minded, objective and empathic, and they ask to understand and improve even if "out of comfortable zone", like "How your idea compare with mine?" Selfish & unhappy people are narrow-minded, subjective and believe they are always right (to stay "in comfortable zone"), like "I have better idea than yours."
“Nothing occurs locally, nor globally in the universe, without mass-energy exchange/conversion and entropy production. It is crystal-clear (to me) that all confusions related to the far-reaching fundamental Laws of Thermodynamics, and especially the Second Law (Abstract & FULL paper), are due to the lack of their genuine and subtle comprehension.”

“... You know, however, that on a microscopic level—on the deepest level of physics—there are no nonconservative forces. Nonconservative forces, like friction, appear only because we neglect microscopic complications—there are just too many particles to analyze. But the fundamental laws can be put in the form of a principle of least action. -Feynman Lectures on Physics Vol. II Ch. 19”
“... let us clearly understand that while... laws are imposed on our science, which otherwise could not exist, they are not imposed on Nature.” — Henri Poincaré (Free will)
Force or Forcing is a process of exchanging useful-energy (directional, forced mass-energy displacement) with net-zero exchange at forced equilibrium. The Second Law provides conditions and limits for process forcing (energy exchange direction and limit).
Nature of Entropy * The miracles are until they are comprehended and understood. > Perpetual Motion Machines (PMMs) and The Fundamental Laws of Thermodynamics and Nature *
The phenomenological Laws of Thermodynamics have much wider, including philosophical significance and implication, than their simple expressions based on the experimental observations – they are The Fundamental Laws of Nature: The Zeroth(equilibrium existentialism), The First (conservational transformationalism), The Second (irreversible-directional transformationalism), and The Third (unattainability of 'emptiness'). They are defining and unifying our comprehension of all existence and transformations in the universe
