The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
Know or listen to those who know.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Leap, and the net will appear.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
I can, therefore I am.
