By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Wherever you are - be all there.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
A poem can have an impact, but you can't expect an audience to understand all the nuances.
