You have to have confidence in your ability, and then be tough enough to follow through.
-Rosalynn Carter
It’s not good,
the doing of the deed
that, once it’s done,
you regret,
whose result you reap crying,
your face in tears.
It’s good,
the doing of the deed,
that, once it’s done,
you don’t regret,
whose result you reap gratified,
happy at heart.
-Dhammapada, 5, translated by Thanissaro Bhikkhu.
