"Drink life as it comes , straight. No chaser". And. "No day but today" oh, and "this too shall pass", but I apply it to all aspects. The good things will pass and the bad things will pass. :-).

When my husband graduated from Infantry training, the general who spoke at the ceremony said this:
"This is the life you chose."
He reminded them that they would all deploy within a year, and would many times wonder why they had to work so hard and suffer so much and be away from their families. He wasn't wrong. But my husband and I would remind each other of that phrase and move past the complaints. After all, we'd chosen it.
This has helped me so many times. Whatever happens, I have a choice about the outcome. When I wonder why my job is going crappy or why school is so hard...I just remind myself that I am responsible for it, not someone else. And I am responsible for doing something about it.

The sky is pink
As in if the teacher says the sky is pink, you pick pink on the test.

Why choose failure when success is an option?

Try not. Do, or do not. There is no try.
Not a Star Wars fan, but this scrolled across the screen of the computer I used for school to remind me the only option was success.
I will not give up, they will have to pull the pencil out of my cold dead hand, before I quit!!

I have been using the Nemo "just keep swimming" for YEARS!!! I sing it in my head, if nothing else it makes me smile! I also pass it on to any person I encounter that is struggling.
Nemo is good for a lot of life lessons.
