To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Quality is not an act, it is a habit.
I can, therefore I am.
Perhaps trying to move away from my problems and focus on the positive is the best I can do.
