There are no shortcuts.
You get back what you have earned:
Always give your best

Truth and love,
The insignia of rank;
Wear with pride, and share.

Learn to live with change:
The future is uncertain,
Adapt to keep strong

The path to wisdom:
Look for the unexpected,
Challenge your thinking.

Step up, be present
Be excellent in all things
Even the smallest

Change the way you think.
Only you can change yourself
For better or worse.

Positive outlook
Reframes the unexpected;
No need to fluster.

After each success
A fresh challenge will arise;
Don’t be complacent

Do not seek revenge;
Be not like your enemies,
Then you have triumphed.

Be not a false friend,
A sly wolf in sheep’s clothing;
Kindness always wins.

Magic can happen,
When the ego is mastered;
Learn humility.

If you look for them
A thousand small miracles
Wait for you each day.

All is in motion.
Change is the only constant:
Adapt to succeed.

The words of others
Are not weapons of themselves;
Unless we choose it.

Try not to expect:
Frustration lurks at each turn
To confound your wish
