By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
It's always too early to quit.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
You never know what motivates you.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Always desire to learn something useful.
Never complain and never explain.
