Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
Leap, and the net will appear.
Wherever you are - be all there.
Well done is better than well said.
Never complain and never explain.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
