The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
If you think you can do it, you can.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Know or listen to those who know.
It's always too early to quit.
