Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Never complain and never explain.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Know or listen to those who know.
Always desire to learn something useful.
After a storm comes a calm.
The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
Being around some of the bright lights of the technology world and having them expect great things helps you sit down and do it seriously.
