The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
Leap, and the net will appear.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
If you think you can do it, you can.
Know or listen to those who know.
You have to keep your sanity as well as know how to distance yourself from it while still holding onto the reins tightly. That is a very difficult thing to do, but I'm learning.
