The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
Always desire to learn something useful.
Who seeks shall find.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
