Always desire to learn something useful.
Never complain and never explain.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
It's always too early to quit.
If you can dream it, you can do it.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
After a storm comes a calm.
Wherever you are - be all there.
Who seeks shall find.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
All this happened, more or less. The war parts, anyway, are pretty much true.
