Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
Leap, and the net will appear.
Never complain and never explain.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
Always desire to learn something useful.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Well done is better than well said.
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.
