Wherever you are - be all there.
After a storm comes a calm.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
Only the educated are free.
Always desire to learn something useful.
If you can dream it, you can do it.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Leap, and the net will appear.
When I was about 13 or 14, I had an English teacher who made a deal with me that I could get out of doing all of the year's regular work if I would write a short story a week and on Friday read it to the class.
