The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Never complain and never explain.
Who seeks shall find.
To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
