Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.

Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.

By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.

If you're going through hell, keep going.

Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.

Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.

If you've got a talent, protect it.

Know or listen to those who know.

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
