You never know what motivates you.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
Always desire to learn something useful.
Never complain and never explain.
When a parent shows up with an attitude of entitlement, understand that under it is a boatload of anxiety.
