Always desire to learn something useful.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
Leap, and the net will appear.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
Quality is not an act, it is a habit.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
Well done is better than well said.
Diaspora starts about a thousand years from now. Most of human civilisation has moved inside computers essentially, a major branch of our descendants consists of conscious software.
