If you've got a talent, protect it.
If you can dream it, you can do it.
Never complain and never explain.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
Who seeks shall find.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
