The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Well done is better than well said.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Only the educated are free.
Wherever you are - be all there.
Writing poetry makes you intensely conscious of how words sound, both aloud and inside the head of the reader. You learn the weight of words and how they sound to the ear.
