After a storm comes a calm.
Never complain and never explain.
Well done is better than well said.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
You never know what motivates you.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
