Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Leap, and the net will appear.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
Never complain and never explain.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
If you think you can do it, you can.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
When I was a little kid I used to play with guys twice my age, so, I was the last one picked, so if I picked I knew that I had to get the ball to the scorer if I wanted to stay on the court, so that was pretty much my job.
