Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
Know or listen to those who know.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
You never know what motivates you.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
It's always too early to quit.
If you think you can do it, you can.
On the one hand, I've had such a normal upbringing with my mum, who has kept me grounded, but on the other, the wild experiences through my dad.
