Remind yourself that you're bound to get better. Don't get down on yourself. Don't beat yourself up. It's the next opportunity that matters, not the last one.
Things will always go wrong so ride through your difficulties and learn from them.
Your income is directly related to your philosophy, NOT the economy.
Miss a meal if you have to, but don't miss a book.
Don’t spend most of your time on the voices that don’t count. Tune out the shallow voices so that you will have more time to tune in the valuable ones.
