To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
Always desire to learn something useful.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
If you think you can do it, you can.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
I mean, it's the life lessons that I suppose you learn that nobody gets a free ride and that you do the best you can with the means that you can and try to open yourself to as much knowledge and all that that you can.
