If you're going through hell, keep going.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
Only the educated are free.
If you think you can do it, you can.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
Well done is better than well said.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
I don't think of myself as a role model. I do try to live in a compassionate, considerate and positive way. The only advice I can offer is to find what you love to do, find the joy in it, and express yourself through your passion.
