If you've got a talent, protect it.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
If you can dream it, you can do it.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
Always desire to learn something useful.
To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
Wherever you are - be all there.
