Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
Always desire to learn something useful.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
If you can dream it, you can do it.
The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
Wherever you are - be all there.
It's always too early to quit.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
I used to joke that if acting didn't work out, poetry was my commonsense fallback.
