Confidence comes from preparation and knowing your stuff.
"Traveling is a brutality. It forces you to trust strangers and to lose sight of all that familiar comfort of home and friends. You are constantly off balance. Nothing is yours except the essential things: air, sleep, dreams, the sea, the sky - all things tending towards the eternal or what we imagine of it."
To create is to participate in the transformation of the world.
The key to success is to focus on goals, not obstacles.
