Either you run the day or the day runs you.
The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Always desire to learn something useful.
Who seeks shall find.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
If you can dream it, you can do it.
You never know what motivates you.
Know or listen to those who know.
