The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
Wherever you are - be all there.
If you think you can do it, you can.
Leap, and the net will appear.
If you can dream it, you can do it.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
It's always too early to quit.
As an inspiration to the author, I do not think the cat can be over-estimated. He suggests so much grace, power, beauty, motion, mysticism. I do not wonder that many writers love cats I am only surprised that all do not.
