Wherever you are - be all there.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
You never know what motivates you.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
Always desire to learn something useful.
Know or listen to those who know.
