If you think you can do it, you can.
You never know what motivates you.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
Always desire to learn something useful.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Never complain and never explain.
I can, therefore I am.
I've been a teacher at the college level, in composition mostly, and I've been an editor on magazines.
