The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
I can, therefore I am.
Know or listen to those who know.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
You never know what motivates you.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
Because at bottom, I'm interested in fear, and in courage and cowardice and these are easier to get at through fiction, where you can enter people's heads.
