The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
After a storm comes a calm.
Who seeks shall find.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
Always desire to learn something useful.
Quality is not an act, it is a habit.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
If you can dream it, you can do it.
But I don't think we'll go there until we go back to the moon and develop a technology base for living and working and transporting ourselves through space.
