The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
Never complain and never explain.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
Leap, and the net will appear.
Well done is better than well said.
If you think you can do it, you can.
Always desire to learn something useful.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
Writing poetry makes you intensely conscious of how words sound, both aloud and inside the head of the reader. You learn the weight of words and how they sound to the ear.
