Every day you have to test yourself. If you don't, it's a wasted day.
Continuous effort -- not strength -- is the key to unlocking our potential.
The price of excellence is discipline. The cost of mediocrity is disappointment.
Every successful person has had their share of failure. Your success story is being made now.
A determined person doesn't find it hard to succeed; they find it hard to stop trying.

The moment you stop accepting challenges, is the moment you stop moving forward.
Every successful person has had their share of failure. Your success story is being made now.

In the presence of a positive attitude and enthusiasm, anything becomes possible.
Only those who risk going to far can possibly find out how far one can go. - T.S. Eliot
