If you're going through hell, keep going.
Wherever you are - be all there.
Never complain and never explain.
To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
Always desire to learn something useful.
If you think you can do it, you can.
Know or listen to those who know.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
