The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
Wherever you are - be all there.
Always desire to learn something useful.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
It was a fantastic learning experience and OK, I got slammed because I wasn't Audrey Hepburn but you could have predicted that, really, if you'd opened your eyes wide enough.
