Salman RushdieIt is very important for young people not to be afraid of engaging in areas that are not common to the youth.

Only mediocrity is sure of itself, so take risks and do what you really want to do. Seek out people who arenโt afraid of making mistakes and who, therefore, do make mistakes. Because of that, their work often isnโt recognized, but they are precisely the kind of people who change the world and, after many mistakes, do something that will transform their own community completely.

Thomas SowellYou know, all of us have fallen short of our dreams in life on occasion, but it is part of the Judeo-Christian spirit to give people the opportunity to show what they can do.

Mel ReynoldsWhen I think of a lot of the players I admire, they could always play their parts without hiding behind distortion and sustain. Put the time in. Hear your mistakes.

Donald KnuthIn life you are going to make mistakes, you're going to fall down, but it's the getting up that counts.

I know this from personal experience. I hope that you never will, but, since you're a person, and therefore prone to making horrible, soul-splitting mistakes, you probably will one day know what this kind of guilt and shame feels like. And when that time comes, I hope you have the strength...to take advantage of the fire and reshape your own sword.
