Education prepares you for the "real world," but it's never easy. You have to deal with your grades, studies, peer and parent pressure, and bills. And there's the never-ending question, "What should I do with my life?"

As a student, there are a lot of expectations on your plate. Here's a few positive quotes for you:

1. The secret of success is to do the common things uncommonly well. - John D. Rockefeller

If you want to be successful, you need to do things differently or in a better way than others do. For example, if performing a specific task takes five (5) steps, find a way to do it in three.

3. You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think. - A.A. Milne

We all tend to do some self-destruction every once in a while. However, if you always stick to self-destruct mode, you'll never get anywhere. Believe in yourself and what you can do. There's more to you than you think.

4. You have to be odd to be NO. 1. - Dr. Seuss

Do not be afraid to be different. Think and do things differently. You have to set yourself apart from the rest of the herd and be unique in your own way.

5. Courage doesn't always roar. Sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, "I will try again tomorrow." - Mary Anne Radmacher

Just because you gave up today doesn't mean you'll be a loser forever. When the going gets tough, the tough need to rest. Take some time to rejuvenate yourself by seeing friends or breathing fresh air. As long as you know that you'll work on your dreams again tomorrow, go and take a rest.
