Start where you are, with what you have. Make something of it. Never be satisfied.
You can only become truly accomplished at something you love. Don't make money your goal. Instead, pursue the things you love doing, and then do them so well that people can't take their eyes off you.
"A story is a letter that the author writes to himself, to tell himself things that he would be unable to discover otherwise."
Our Lord has written the promise of resurrection, not in books alone, but in every leaf in springtime.
I start early and I stay late, day after day, year after year. It took me 17 years and 114 days to become an overnight success.
