Wherever you are - be all there.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
The capacity you're thinking of is imagination without it there can be no understanding, indeed no fiction.
