Wherever you are - be all there.
You never know what motivates you.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
Leap, and the net will appear.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
Never complain and never explain.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
Know or listen to those who know.
