Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
Never complain and never explain.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
