Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
Wherever you are - be all there.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
