Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
If you think you can do it, you can.
Know or listen to those who know.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
I think kids slowly begin to realize that what they're learning relates to other things they know. Then learning starts to get more and more exciting.
I write best in the morning, and I can only write for about half a day, that's about it.
