Never complain and never explain.
Always desire to learn something useful.
Know or listen to those who know.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Who seeks shall find.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
Leap, and the net will appear.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
However, if a poem can be reduced to a prose sentence, there can't be much to it.
Well, if this is poetry, I'm certainly never going to write any myself.
