Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
Know or listen to those who know.
Leap, and the net will appear.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
If you think you can do it, you can.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
