After a storm comes a calm.
To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
Leap, and the net will appear.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
Always desire to learn something useful.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
Never complain and never explain.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
