To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
If you think you can do it, you can.
Never complain and never explain.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
Know or listen to those who know.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
After a storm comes a calm.
To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
