Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
Always desire to learn something useful.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
Only the educated are free.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Never complain and never explain.
If you think you can do it, you can.
Quality is not an act, it is a habit.
Wherever you are - be all there.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
In those days, it didn't take much imagination to come up with something that required great lyric development skills. You just thought of an experience that you might have gone through, and write it down.
