Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
Well done is better than well said.
Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
If you can dream it, you can do it.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
I discovered that in a story I could safely dream any dream, hope any hope, go anywhere I pleased any time I pleased, fight any foe, win or lose, live or die. My stories created a safe experimental learning place.
