By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
Always desire to learn something useful.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
If you think you can do it, you can.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Quality is not an act, it is a habit.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Never complain and never explain.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
However, if a poem can be reduced to a prose sentence, there can't be much to it.
Well, if this is poetry, I'm certainly never going to write any myself.
