A Few Do Nots

Do not fear failure. Successful people use failure as a way to learn and a way to practice.
Do not view anything as failure, rather a necessary steppingstone to success.
Do not ignore your health; it's your future. Healthy eating, daily exercise, and peaceful living today, will help ensure you can enjoy tomorrow.
Do not worry about improving others; improve yourself.
Do not allow negativity from others or group failures to discourage or distract you. Your own destiny must be your focus.
Do not give up. Refuse to quit. This is the only way your efforts can become fully realized.
Do not think like a follower. Think like a leader. Leaders take responsibility for where they are.
Do not allow emotions to dictate your reactions. Rise above them by becoming determined to remain calm during all circumstances.
Do not participate in conduct today that will weigh heavy on the conscience tomorrow.
Do not worry. Worry is a slow unnecessary drink of poison.
