The best preparation for good work tomorrow is to do good work today.

The meeting of preparation with opportunity generates the offspring we call luck.

What I do is prepare myself until I know I can do what I have to do.

The five steps in teaching an employee new skills are preparation, explanation, showing, observation and supervision.

Don't waste life in doubts and fears; spend yourself on the work before you, well assured that the right performance of this hour's duties will be the best preparation for the hours and ages that will follow it.

Let us, then, be up and doing, With a heart for any fate; Still achieving, still pursuing, Learn to labor and to wait.

All good writing is swimming under water and holding your breath.
