Experience

He spent most of his life in the service of people. First, he went to Africa and he became lawyer at the age of 24 and left that at age of 45. That years he spent in Africa were the most crucial years in his life. And he was discriminated by other peoples because of his skins colour.

And then he went to London. He spent lavishly on clothes on learning to ape the English aristocratic way of life. But that changed once he realised that his family had to make many sacrifices to enable him to live in this fashion. He was not happy about this and so immediately began to curb his spending. He began by carefully maintaining his accounts recording every cent he spent. And he sold his all written articles at very cheap price.
