Stop talking about your tasks and plans; Spend your energy in doing.

It doesn’t matter how much better you feel. Your authority won’t impress anyone unless you have something credible to show for it.

Studying self-evaluation is the key. Learning doesn’t mean knowing, so we test ourselves regularly.

Passion alone is rarely enough to make you successful. As the passion wears off, you need discipline and persistence to keep going.
