The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
It's always too early to quit.
Well done is better than well said.
Who seeks shall find.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Always desire to learn something useful.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
