To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
If you can dream it, you can do it.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
Quality is not an act, it is a habit.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
Well done is better than well said.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
Never complain and never explain.
If you think you can do it, you can.
