Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
Always desire to learn something useful.
Never complain and never explain.
The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
If you can dream it, you can do it.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
