The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
Always desire to learn something useful.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
Never complain and never explain.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
It's always too early to quit.
Leap, and the net will appear.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
