If you've got a talent, protect it.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
If you think you can do it, you can.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Leap, and the net will appear.
The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Well done is better than well said.
Never complain and never explain.
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.
