By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
Well done is better than well said.
It's always too early to quit.
Know or listen to those who know.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Only the educated are free.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
Never complain and never explain.
You always have in the back of your mind that would be cool if you get recognized. But you can't concentrate on any of those things. You've got to just keep playing and doing your music and the rest is just a bonus.
