Work ethic is important, because, unlike intelligence, athleticism, or charisma, or any natural attribute, it’s a choice.

Don’t confuse your path with your destination. Just because its stormy now doesn’t mean you are headed for failure.

Start, struggle, fail, fix and learn. Repeat.

If you fail, next time fail better.

You can be shown the path, but only you can make the first step.

Don't be afraid to take an unfamiliar path.  Sometimes they're the ones that lead you to the best places.

In order to become better than anybody else you must first become better than yourself.

You cannot start the next chapter of your life if you keep re-reading the last one.

Failure is not the opposite of success, it is part of the success.

If you want to succeed, double your failure rate.

Never underestimate the importance of small steps. small steps = big changes. 

You can hire a tutor but you can't hire someone to practice for you.

A book a day keeps the stupidity away.

Try and do one thing each day that you would really rather not do.

Be strong enough to stand alone, smart enough to know when you need help, and brave enough to ask for it.
