Know or listen to those who know.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
If you can dream it, you can do it.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
Always desire to learn something useful.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
We must expect to fail... but fail in a learning posture, determined no to repeat the mistakes, and to maximize the benefits from what is learned in the process.
