Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
After a storm comes a calm.

To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
