Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
Well done is better than well said.
Quality is not an act, it is a habit.
Know or listen to those who know.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Working with people, the musical part is one thing but the personal part is totally different and just as critical. If the friendship is there and it's a lasting friendship, then it will take care of itself.
