If you've got a talent, protect it.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
If you can dream it, you can do it.
To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
You never know what motivates you.
That something extra, I believe, is a certain humanity that comes from upbeat and positive human interest letters and success stories. Advertisers like to be associated with those qualities.
