The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
Wherever you are - be all there.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
Know or listen to those who know.
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.
