To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Wherever you are - be all there.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
Know or listen to those who know.
You never know what motivates you.
Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Actually, I always dreamed about getting a gold medal in the 100-meter freestyle in Olympic swimming. I always thought that would be the epic award in sports to get.
