The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
Always desire to learn something useful.
If you think you can do it, you can.
Know or listen to those who know.
Leap, and the net will appear.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
Never complain and never explain.
I studied with a blind teacher from about 5 until I was 16, at two different schools. From the age of 12 until 16, I was in a boarding school-which, I believe, at that time was compulsory for blind children.
