Always desire to learn something useful.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.

You never know what motivates you.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
