Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
Who seeks shall find.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
Only the educated are free.
The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
Wherever you are - be all there.
Diaspora starts about a thousand years from now. Most of human civilisation has moved inside computers essentially, a major branch of our descendants consists of conscious software.
