Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
You never know what motivates you.
The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
Who seeks shall find.
To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
Only the educated are free.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
Never complain and never explain.
