Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
If you think you can do it, you can.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
You never know what motivates you.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
Well done is better than well said.
Know or listen to those who know.
I have a political attitude, but I'm certainly not a politician.
Once it gets to a point where it becomes a matter of life and death to occupy a position of leadership or not, with an eye on future opportunities, therein lies the danger.
