Don’t be afraid to work hard and find out how good you can really be.

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

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

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

The wise person knows that no answer is also an answer

The power of reflection is the most powerful skill you’ll learn.

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

Failure to prepare = preparing to fail

Nothing is impossible if you want it badly enough. Impossible = I'm possible.

Hard work beats talent when talent doesn't work hard.

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

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

The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step. 

Never let a dark chapter make you forget that better days are ahead of you. Your story is far from over.

We all have two lives. The second begins when we realise we only have one.
