Never complain and never explain.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
If you can dream it, you can do it.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
Leap, and the net will appear.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
Have convictions. Be friendly. Stick to your beliefs as they stick to theirs. Work as hard as they do.
My experience has been that work is almost the best way to pull oneself out of the depths.
