Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
Only the educated are free.
Never complain and never explain.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
Always desire to learn something useful.
It's always too early to quit.
Leap, and the net will appear.
I don't think of myself as a role model. I do try to live in a compassionate, considerate and positive way. The only advice I can offer is to find what you love to do, find the joy in it, and express yourself through your passion.
