I work hard, but in spurts.

Pacifists become militants. Freedom fighters become tyrants. Blessings become curses. Help becomes hindrance. More becomes less.

Requiring a lot of time does not make a task important.

People are smarter than you think. Give them a chance to prove themselves.

Short, sweet, and to the point. Clear writing, and therefore clear commands, comes from clear thinking. Think simple.

Do not overestimate the competition and underestimate yourself. You are better than you think.

But you are the average of the five people you associate with most, so do not underestimate the effects of your pessimistic, unambitious, or disorganized friends. If someone isn't making you stronger, they're making you weaker.
