================================================
32. It's better to get an "F" than to cheat.
An "F" only signifies a lack of preparation.
Cheating signifies a lack of character.
If you lose your wealth, you've lost nothing.
If you lose your health, you've lost something.
But, if you lose your character or integrity,
you've lost everything.
-- Ancient proverb
================================================
33. Get a mentor. A mentor is a person whose hindsight can become your foresight. Your "ideal" mentor would be a junior or senior in your major with a G.P.A. greater than 3.0.

39. College is hard. If it were easy everyone would have a college degree. To become a college graduate, you'll experience a certain amount of pain. You have a choice: Either you can experience the PAIN OF DISCIPLINE or you can experience the PAIN OF REGRET.
"Discipline is not a nasty word." - Pat Riley (American Basketball coach)
"It doesn't matter what you're trying to accomplish. It's all a matter of discipline. I was determined to discover what life held for me beyond the inner-city streets... My mother taught me very early to believe I could achieve any accomplishment I wanted to. The first was to walk without braces." -- Wilma Rudolph, 1940-1994, American Track Athlete
================================================
40. Don't do it all by yourself. Learn how to ask for help. No one ever made it through college alone.
"Every great man is always being helped by everybody; ...his gift is to get good out of all things and all persons." John Ruskin, 1819-1900, British Critic, Social Theorist
