The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
If you think you can do it, you can.
It's always too early to quit.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
If you can dream it, you can do it.
Quality is not an act, it is a habit.
Leap, and the net will appear.
You never know what motivates you.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
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.
