The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
If you think you can do it, you can.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
After a storm comes a calm.
Know or listen to those who know.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
Part of my growing up was always trying to make my parents proud and always trying to keep them happy. I think part of what held them together was my involvement in sports.
