Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
Who seeks shall find.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
Well done is better than well said.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
If you think you can do it, you can.
If you can dream it, you can do it.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
As my dad said, you have an obligation to leave the world better than how you found it. And he also reminded us to be givers in this life, and not takers.
