The most effective way to do it, is to do it.

To be a good loser is to learn how to win.

Always desire to learn something useful.

Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.

Never complain and never explain.

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

Well done is better than well said.
