The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
After a storm comes a calm.
I can, therefore I am.
If you think you can do it, you can.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
I get whatever placidity I have from my father. But my mother taught me how to take it on the chin.
