To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

If you think you can do it, you can.

Know or listen to those who know.

Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.

If you've got a talent, protect it.

Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

It's always too early to quit.

Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
