Friends are made by many acts...and lost by only one.
It doesn't matter if they say you can't do it. It only matters if you say you can't.
For the real winners, there are no finish lines.
Mackay's Moral: If you are persistent, you will get it. If you are consistent, you will keep it.
One sure-fire way to stay creative: force yourself to learn something new.
If you find yourself plagued by a recurrent worry, train yourself to think of something else. Your conscious mind can concentrate on only one thought at a time, and driving the negativity away will free you up to move forward again.
