Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
Who seeks shall find.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

After a storm comes a calm.
I can, therefore I am.
Wherever you are - be all there.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
Only the educated are free.
