Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
Never complain and never explain.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
It's always too early to quit.
Always desire to learn something useful.
