Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
I can, therefore I am.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.

The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
After a storm comes a calm.
Who seeks shall find.
