"There are some things you must never forget, lads:
Remain true to yourselves, and act according to your own logic.
Take risks when you think they're worth it.
Self-pity is useless: solve the tests or die trying.
I don't like giving advice, but the situation requires it: I'm serious when I tell you none of you will last long if you don't take this into account.
Now get along, you've got things to do."
-Someone I don't need to remember.
