Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Always desire to learn something useful.
Leap, and the net will appear.
The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
Never complain and never explain.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
