Be true to your work, your word, and your friend. Do what nobody else can do for you. Omit to do anything else. Dreams are the touchstones of our character. Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you've imagined. It is only when we forget all our learning that we begin to know. Never look back unless you are planning to go that way. Not until we are lost do we begin to understand ourselves. Success usually comes to those who are too busy to be looking for it. |
