Always desire to learn something useful.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
Leap, and the net will appear.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
If you think you can do it, you can.
I hate to play the I-live-in-the-country card, but it really takes all of the 'pack the kids into the car and run from here to there' out of the equation.
