By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
Always desire to learn something useful.
I can, therefore I am.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
Who seeks shall find.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
The nice thing about being a writer is that you can make magic happen without learning tricks.
