If you can dream it, you can do it.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
Wherever you are - be all there.
Leap, and the net will appear.
The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
It's always too early to quit.
Know or listen to those who know.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
