The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Wherever you are - be all there.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
It's always too early to quit.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
If you can dream it, you can do it.
Leap, and the net will appear.
That something extra, I believe, is a certain humanity that comes from upbeat and positive human interest letters and success stories. Advertisers like to be associated with those qualities.
