If you've got a talent, protect it.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
If you can dream it, you can do it.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
Leap, and the net will appear.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
I'm not an academic, but I've always loved poetry since I've been small.
I was always in trouble from an early age. I had a fraught relationship with my parents, who were very traditional. Doing plays at school was a joyous release.
