If you think you can do it, you can.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
Never complain and never explain.
Who seeks shall find.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
Sometimes when my mom finds a fun article and really wants me to read it, I will. But I prefer to just kind of focus on what I want to do and not really what other people are saying, because I don't want that to affect me too much.
