Guiding Words:

"Nothing works unless you do" - John Wooden

"The only way to achieve success is to suffer and then persevere"

- Ichiro Suzuki

"Success is the willingness to strive for something you really want. The person not reaching the top is no less a success than the one who achieved it, if they both sweat blood and tears and overcame obstacles and fears. The failure to be perfect does not mean you're not a success". - Fran Tarkenton

"Always bear in mind that your own resolution to succeed, is more important than any other one thing." - Abe Lincoln
