There is progress whether ye are going forward or backward! The thing is to move!

If you don't like the traffic, the change your direction...

Revolutions go not backward.

You are the pilot of your life, therefore you determine your destination, and which direction will take you there.

You are the pilot of your life, be sure that you do not crash.

Take seriously the criticisms on yourself, then you move forward; ignore the criticisms on yourself, then you move backwards because in every criticism there is at the least some truth!
