To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
Never complain and never explain.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
Who seeks shall find.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Wherever you are - be all there.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
I think it was T.S. Eliot who talked about good poetry being felt before it's understood. I believe that. There are some bands where I love their lyrics but I don't have a clue what they're on about.
