Wherever you are - be all there.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
I can, therefore I am.
Know or listen to those who know.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
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.
