Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
I can, therefore I am.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
If you think you can do it, you can.
Wherever you are - be all there.
