Don’t trade away your happiness now to earn money in hopes that if you make enough you’ll be able to buy it back later.
You can’t.

Quotes
A long long time ago I began collecting inspirational quotes and aphorisms which became my collection of quotes.
Start Counting When It Starts Hurting
I don’t count my sit-ups. I only start counting when it starts hurting. When I feel pain, that’s when I start counting, because that’s when it really counts.

Every single day
You don’t set out to build a wall. You don’t say, “I’m going to build the biggest, baddest, greatest wall that’s ever been built.” You don’t start there. You say, “I’m going to lay this stone as perfectly as a stone can be laid.” You do that every single day. And soon you will have a wall.
~ Will Smith

Nope
NOPE
I will not be lazy.
I will not accept what I have now if I know I can do better.
I will not sleep until I finish.
I will not leave until I’m done.
I will not tremble in front of new challenges.

Even if it takes time.
Even if I have no time at all.
I will succeed.

Useless to worry
When one is inexperienced as a teacher, one gets quite worried about the pupil’s situation; His anxieties rub off on the teacher as it were. But an older teacher realizes it is useless to worry or even think about it. The thinking has been done already, and a proper programme has been carefully worked out to suit this pupil. Either he will follow it, or he will not.
