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

You're not in competition with anyone but yourself. Outdo your past, not other people.

Success can never happen without the journey (struggle).

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

Tomorrow is worth more than yesterday but less than today.

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

Hard work - a two way street where you get exactly what you put in.

Success is not final and failure is not fatal. It is the courage to continue that counts.

Tough times never last, but tough people do.

A book a day keeps the stupidity away.
