Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
Who seeks shall find.
Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
Never complain and never explain.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
You have to keep your sanity as well as know how to distance yourself from it while still holding onto the reins tightly. That is a very difficult thing to do, but I'm learning.
