Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Never complain and never explain.
Leap, and the net will appear.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
If you can dream it, you can do it.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
I once saw a picture in the paper of John Hegley with 'poet' written on his knuckles, and I thought that was pretty cool, so I was quite up front about it.
