Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
Know or listen to those who know.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Leap, and the net will appear.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Always desire to learn something useful.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
So the thing I realized rather gradually - I must say starting about 20 years ago now that we know about computers and things - there's a possibility of a more general basis for rules to describe nature.
