Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
Always desire to learn something useful.
Never complain and never explain.
If you think you can do it, you can.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
You never know what motivates you.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Well done is better than well said.
