Precept 32: 'Never Believe That It Is Too Late'.
Sometimes, thoughts of what could have been, or what might yet be, will enter your mind. But these thoughts are followed by a darker thought: ‘It is too late.’
The latter is not your own! It is a dark thought that seeks to weaken your resolve and keep you from acting.
The past cannot be changed, but the present is yours to command.
Begin NOW, warrior, and you will not fail, no matter how late it seems.

Precept 27: 'Don't Trust Your Reflection'.
When peering at certain shining surfaces, you may see a copy of your own face. The face will mimic your movements and seems similar to your own, but I don't think it can be trusted.
