You never know what motivates you.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Know or listen to those who know.
Always desire to learn something useful.
If you think you can do it, you can.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
Leap, and the net will appear.
Who seeks shall find.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
