If you've got a talent, protect it.
Never complain and never explain.
Know or listen to those who know.
The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
Only the educated are free.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
Well done is better than well said.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
But to me the bottom line is the more education you can give yourself, and the more preparation you can do, the less chance of failing.
