The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
Always desire to learn something useful.
Well done is better than well said.
Wherever you are - be all there.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
After you start learning all about the mechanics of piloting a riverboat, you stop seeing all the pretty sunsets and you start thinking about the weather.
