Always desire to learn something useful.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
You never know what motivates you.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Know or listen to those who know.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Never complain and never explain.
