"Remember, success is a journey not a destination. Have faith in your ability. You will do just fine."

"Do not pray for an easy life, pray for the strength to endure a difficult one"
"Empty your mind, be formless. Shapeless, like water. If you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. You put water into a bottle and it becomes the bottle. You put it in a teapot it becomes the teapot. Now, water can flow or it can crash. Be water, my friend."
"Notice that the stiffest tree is most easily cracked, while the bamboo or willow survives by bending with the wind."
"A wise man can learn more from a foolish question than a fool can learn from a wise answer."
