Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
Wherever you are - be all there.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
Leap, and the net will appear.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
I can, therefore I am.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
I'm just as insufferable and useless as every other dad is. The dynamic never changes, no matter what you do for a living.
