If you can dream it, you can do it.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
Leap, and the net will appear.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
I can, therefore I am.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
Who seeks shall find.
Growing up in the '70s and '80s, science fiction and especially fantasy had such a stigma attached to them. I felt so punished and exiled for being devoted to these things.
