The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
Never complain and never explain.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
If you think you can do it, you can.
To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
I like actors that are good with pantomime and that can transmit a lot by their presence and attitude more than through their dialogue.
