The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
If you think you can do it, you can.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
Know or listen to those who know.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
When I was a little kid I used to play with guys twice my age, so, I was the last one picked, so if I picked I knew that I had to get the ball to the scorer if I wanted to stay on the court, so that was pretty much my job.
