The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
Know or listen to those who know.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
Quality is not an act, it is a habit.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
You never know what motivates you.
