After a storm comes a calm.
Only the educated are free.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
Wherever you are - be all there.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
Always desire to learn something useful.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
If you can dream it, you can do it.
I see a wiser person than when I was younger: having babies, and passing 30, were the turning points. What women in their 40s - I am 39 - lack in gorgeousness, they make up for in wisdom. I love ageing, despite the drawbacks - thinner, drier skin.
