Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
Leap, and the net will appear.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
Only the educated are free.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
If you think you can do it, you can.
If you can dream it, you can do it.
To say that you now trust the Russian military command and control system because some Russian general told you from the bottom of his heart that's the case, strikes me as most unrealistic.
