The race goes not only to the swift but to the ones who keep on running
Success is not just about inherent talent or speed, but also about persistence and determination.


Take what you can, leave the rest for others
Do what you can to achieve your goals, but don't be greedy or selfish and leave opportunities for others as well.

If you can't do it with feeling, don't
If you're not passionate about something or don't truly care about it, don't bother doing it.


Do your own thing and respect others
