Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
Never complain and never explain.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
