The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Always desire to learn something useful.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
If you think you can do it, you can.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Know or listen to those who know.
Never complain and never explain.
You never know what motivates you.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
All this happened, more or less. The war parts, anyway, are pretty much true.
