If you've got a talent, protect it.
Leap, and the net will appear.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
Never complain and never explain.
The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
You never know what motivates you.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
Wherever you are - be all there.
Eventually, I believe, current attempts to understand the mind by analogy with man-made computers that can perform superbly some of the same external tasks as conscious beings will be recognized as a gigantic waste of time.
