You never know what motivates you.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
If you think you can do it, you can.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
I can, therefore I am.
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.
