Always desire to learn something useful.
To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
After a storm comes a calm.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
Well done is better than well said.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
Never complain and never explain.
