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

Do what you have always done and you will always be what you have always been

Instead of finding reasons why you can't, find reasons why you can.

The temptation to quit will be the greatest when you are about to succeed

Everything that happens was once a dream.

Shoot for the moon and even if you miss you’ll land among the stars/

The gift of imperfection - let go of who you think you're supposed to be and embrace who you are.
