Know or listen to those who know.
The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Wherever you are - be all there.
Always desire to learn something useful.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Leap, and the net will appear.
Never complain and never explain.
A poem can have an impact, but you can't expect an audience to understand all the nuances.
