The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
Always desire to learn something useful.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
Leap, and the net will appear.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
It's always too early to quit.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
Quality is not an act, it is a habit.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
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.
