Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
Quality is not an act, it is a habit.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
That song is a story that shows how easily you could get slipped into being labeled as the bad guy, even though what you really trying to do is tell the bad guy to leave you alone.
