99% of genius comes from hard work, the remaining 1% comes from innate talent

Practice makes comfort. Expand your experiences regularly so every stretch won't feel like your first.

FAIL - First Attempt In Learning

There is no elevator to success, you have to take the stairs.

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

Tough times never last, but tough people do.

There are no shortcuts to any place worth going.

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

Success is a journey, not a destination.

99% of failures come from people who have the habit of making excuses.

I had no time is no excuse. 1 hour is 4% of your day and 1 minute is 0.34 % of your day.

No one starts out on top. You have to work your way up.
