Action

Teachers open the door but you must walk through it yourself.

Do not wait; the time will never be ''just right.'' Start where you stand, and work with whatever tools you may have at your command, and better tools will be found as you go along.

Every accomplishment starts with the decision to try.

I hear and I forget, I see and I remember. I do and I understand.

Initiative is doing the right thing without being told.

If you want a trait, act as if you already have the trait.

None of us are responsible for all the things that happen to us, but we are responsible for the way we act when they do happen.
