Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
Who seeks shall find.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
Always desire to learn something useful.
Leap, and the net will appear.
I can, therefore I am.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
If you can dream it, you can do it.
But to me the bottom line is the more education you can give yourself, and the more preparation you can do, the less chance of failing.
