Wherever you are - be all there.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
If you can dream it, you can do it.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
After a storm comes a calm.
Leap, and the net will appear.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
