To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Wherever you are - be all there.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Never complain and never explain.
It's always too early to quit.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
Who seeks shall find.
If you think you can do it, you can.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
A poem can have an impact, but you can't expect an audience to understand all the nuances.
