Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.

Never complain and never explain.

If you've got a talent, protect it.

Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.

Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.

To be a good loser is to learn how to win.

Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
