Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
Always desire to learn something useful.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
Leap, and the net will appear.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
