If you've got a talent, protect it.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
It's always too early to quit.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Quality is not an act, it is a habit.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
Never complain and never explain.
Wherever you are - be all there.
Always desire to learn something useful.
Leap, and the net will appear.
