To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
I can, therefore I am.
The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Never complain and never explain.
Well done is better than well said.
After a storm comes a calm.
You never know what motivates you.
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.
