A bit preachy but worth hearing
These three stand out as having been valuable.

"Measure it twice cut it once." Excellent advice, set up the job properly and the rest will be plain sailing. Trying to do anything in a half-arsed manner inevitably leads to frustration and a piss poor result.

"Do at least one thing each day that you would rather not do." A good way of preventing yourself from becoming a self-pitying twat and generally reminding yourself that you're probably not too badly off.

"Never say anything just because you think it will make you feel better." No matter how much you want to call someone a cunt to their face, you never know when you might need their help.
