It is a good rule to face difficulties at the time they arise and not allow them to increase unacknowledged.
Edward W. Ziegler

Samuel Smiles
Getting ahead in a difficult profession requires avid faith in yourself. That is why some people with mediocre talent, but with great inner drive, go much further than people with vastly superior talent.

Every difficulty slurred over will be a ghost to disturb your repose later on.
Rabindranath Tagore
