Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
Always desire to learn something useful.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Who seeks shall find.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
I kept my age quiet for a good few years. I didn't see it as a positive. I worked remotely, so I just didn't tell people.
