Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
After a storm comes a calm.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
If you think you can do it, you can.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
Always desire to learn something useful.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
You never know what motivates you.
But to me the bottom line is the more education you can give yourself, and the more preparation you can do, the less chance of failing.
