The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
After a storm comes a calm.
Well done is better than well said.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Leap, and the net will appear.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
