You never know what motivates you.
Quality is not an act, it is a habit.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
It's always too early to quit.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
After a storm comes a calm.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
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.
