Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
Only the educated are free.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
If you can dream it, you can do it.
Quality is not an act, it is a habit.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Who seeks shall find.
Leap, and the net will appear.
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.
