Know or listen to those who know.
After a storm comes a calm.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
Always desire to learn something useful.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
I work on OpenBSD fulltime, as the project leader. I set some directions, increase communication between the developers, and try to be involved in nearly every aspect of the base system.
