If you're going through hell, keep going.
Never complain and never explain.
Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
If you think you can do it, you can.
Leap, and the net will appear.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
Being around some of the bright lights of the technology world and having them expect great things helps you sit down and do it seriously.
