Always desire to learn something useful.
If you think you can do it, you can.

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
Never complain and never explain.
Quality is not an act, it is a habit.
To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
Well done is better than well said.
