By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
Wherever you are - be all there.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
Who seeks shall find.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
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.
