The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
If you think you can do it, you can.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
You never know what motivates you.
Never complain and never explain.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
One thing I have learned in my time in politics is that if one of the parties is shameless, the other party cannot afford to be spineless.
