Things can get better, but you have to make them so.
Catch up with others by working a hundred times harder.
take it leisurely and unoppressively; by easy stages; calm and unhurried;
self-cultivation and self-discipline
study and train hard; study diligently and train hard;
Diligence is the means by which one makes up for one's dullness;
Even a fool may sometimes have a good idea; A fool may give a wise man counsel;
Life through trials and tribulations.
