My young friend, try to find what you can do best, and then do it all the time.

It is better to wear out than to rust out.
Richard Cumberland

The ladder of success is best climbed by stepping on the rungs of opportunity. - Ayn Rand
Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity. - Seneca
