The easiest way to be disappointed in life is to rely completely on somebody who seems really really there. Humans have the tendency to mess up when you need them the most.
When you are making plans, you have capital, you have human resources, where you have human beings, remove the name of people there and put God there.
It's only God that can bless you with the gift of good men, you are not wise or discerning enough to select good people.
If you must rely on people, rely on your immediate family with caution. There is no place like home. Learn to stand on your own so that if you happen to fall, you can stand again.
If you get stranded on the sea and you are in a canoe, the person you depend on that has a cruise ship may decide not to help you because your canoe will stain their white ship.
Carry your paddle, start paddling.
True, no one is to be relied on even though we need eachother to survive. But when it comes to some certain things in life, everyone is on their own.
