By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
If you think you can do it, you can.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Quality is not an act, it is a habit.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
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.
