The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
After a storm comes a calm.
Never complain and never explain.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
You never know what motivates you.
