Always desire to learn something useful.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
Wherever you are - be all there.
To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
If you think you can do it, you can.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
Only the educated are free.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Leap, and the net will appear.
I think an education is beneficial, but whether it takes an education to be successful in the arts is a whole other question.
