Repetition is the mother of skill.
Time is the capital of your life, so spend it wisely.
When people 'succeed' they tend to party, when they 'fail' they tend to ponder.
Realize that if you can instantly create a problem, you can just as quickly and easily create a solution.
Whatever you focus on is what you get.
Read no less than ½ hour a day or listen to audiobooks while in the car or cleaning the house. Biographies of great people taught me, as I said, that even eminent people fail but keep getting up.
