Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
You never know what motivates you.
Know or listen to those who know.
Always desire to learn something useful.
If you can dream it, you can do it.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Leap, and the net will appear.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
Why not collect and clean chicken wishbones in the run-up to Christmas, spray them silver and use each to pinch together a white hem-stitch napkin?
