The Buddha says:
Use yourself as a lamp to show the way,use your true self as a refuge to come home to.Use the Dharma as a lamp, use the Dharma as a refuge.
Besides these two, there is nothing else you can depend on.So trust yourself as the light, trust the Dharma as the light to show you the way.
Don’t underestimate yourself, because human beings have infinite potential.
You yourself must work hard to become a bodhisattva.

A TV producer: “All the programs that I produce emphasize positive reports of people, places, and things in Taiwan.”
