Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
Never complain and never explain.
Well done is better than well said.
Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
Quality is not an act, it is a habit.
If you can dream it, you can do it.
Know or listen to those who know.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Always desire to learn something useful.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
