Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
Only the educated are free.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
Who seeks shall find.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Never complain and never explain.
The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
You never know what motivates you.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
So it's been a slow process and it's taken some patience. That's why patients are called patients I think - patience is required.
