The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
Well done is better than well said.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
You never know what motivates you.
If you can dream it, you can do it.
Always desire to learn something useful.
It's always too early to quit.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
But it's a journey and the sad thing is you only learn from experience, so as much as someone can tell you things, you have to go out there and make your own mistakes in order to learn.
When I haven't been working I've tried to travel a lot.
