The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
Always desire to learn something useful.
Leap, and the net will appear.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Losing faith in your own singularity is the start of wisdom, I suppose also the first announcement of death.
