What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
You never know what motivates you.
Know or listen to those who know.
After a storm comes a calm.
Leap, and the net will appear.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Never complain and never explain.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
In those days, it didn't take much imagination to come up with something that required great lyric development skills. You just thought of an experience that you might have gone through, and write it down.
