Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
If you can dream it, you can do it.
Always desire to learn something useful.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
If you think you can do it, you can.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
Since there will be no one left to talk peace after the next war, it makes good sense to break with tradition and hold the peace conference first.
