Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
If you think you can do it, you can.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Leap, and the net will appear.
To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
Never complain and never explain.
