Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
Always desire to learn something useful.
Never complain and never explain.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
After a storm comes a calm.
It's always too early to quit.
Who seeks shall find.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
Not in the mornings, I'm always so tired in the morning.
I think that's what helped us: confidence, respect, the desire to work hard.
