The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
Never complain and never explain.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
Always desire to learn something useful.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
Leap, and the net will appear.
If you can dream it, you can do it.
