The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
Always desire to learn something useful.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Wherever you are - be all there.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
That's what I do and I enjoy even the hateful moments of a relationship where two people or four people come together to make a bigger mess than originally intended.
