The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
Always desire to learn something useful.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
Well done is better than well said.
If you think you can do it, you can.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
I'm ashamed to say this, but I watched every episode of 'Starsky and Hutch' as a kid. I loved that show, but now I think it's stupid - they'd have a car chase for no reason, then Paul Michael Glaser would shoot the car and it would blow up.
