The probability of survival is equal to the angle of arrival. Always remember you fly an airplane with your head, not your hands. You know you've landed with the wheels up when it takes full power to taxi. Learn from the mistakes of others. You won't live long enough to make all of them yourself.
Good judgment comes from experience and experience comes from bad judgment.
Try to keep the number of your landings equal to the number of your takeoffs. You cannot propel yourself forward by patting yourself on the back. When in doubt, hold on to your altitude. No one has ever collided with the sky. Stay out of clouds.
