If you've got a talent, protect it.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
If you can dream it, you can do it.
After a storm comes a calm.
Well done is better than well said.
Wherever you are - be all there.
I got a guitar when I was about 14, for a Christmas present, and went from there.
