“Resilience is not a commodity you are born with, waiting silently on tap. It is self-manufactured painstakingly over time by working through your problems and never giving up, even in the face of difficulty or failure.”

“If you give up, you reward failure.”

“Keep a positive mind. Remember, a failed attempt doesn’t make you a failure—giving up does.”

“True confidence is born of experiencing your hard work and seeing your determination pay off.”

“Think in terms of opportunities and solutions instead of problems, disappointment, and failure.”

“Excuses fall silent behind self-control, focus, and direction.”

“Believe that your hard work, dedication and persistence will pay off; improve through continual learning and believe in your future.”
