Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
After a storm comes a calm.
Well done is better than well said.
Leap, and the net will appear.
Always desire to learn something useful.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
It's always too early to quit.
Either you run the day or the day runs 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.
