Never complain and never explain.
The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
Who seeks shall find.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
You never know what motivates you.
If you can dream it, you can do it.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
I've been a teacher at the college level, in composition mostly, and I've been an editor on magazines.
