Always desire to learn something useful.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
Leap, and the net will appear.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Know or listen to those who know.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
I mean, it's the life lessons that I suppose you learn that nobody gets a free ride and that you do the best you can with the means that you can and try to open yourself to as much knowledge and all that that you can.
