To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
After a storm comes a calm.
Leap, and the net will appear.
If you think you can do it, you can.
You never know what motivates you.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Well done is better than well said.
It's always too early to quit.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
Frankly, the reason I joined MENSA is because I was dating a guy at the time who spoke five languages and could solve a Rubik's Cube literally with his eyes closed because it's just an algorithm.
