By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Wherever you are - be all there.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
If you think you can do it, you can.
The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
Who seeks shall find.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
