Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.

If you've got a talent, protect it.

If you think you can do it, you can.

Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.

Always desire to learn something useful.

Know or listen to those who know.

Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.

Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
