The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
Always desire to learn something useful.
Well done is better than well said.
Who seeks shall find.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Know or listen to those who know.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
If you think you can do it, you can.
The doubt of an earnest, thoughtful, patient and laborious mind is worthy of respect. In such doubt may be found indeed more faith than in half the creeds.
