If you've got a talent, protect it.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
After a storm comes a calm.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
Leap, and the net will appear.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Never complain and never explain.
Wherever you are - be all there.
As I got older, I really got into Tupac's poetry, his books and just learning about his life and what he was into.
