Don't mistake movement for achievement. It's easy to get faked out by being busy. The question is: Busy doing what?
The best motivating is self-motivating. The guy says, "I wish someone would come by and turn me on. "What if they don't show up? You've got to have a better plan for your life."
It is what you do about what happens that counts.
Don't be anybody's follower, be a student.
Learn how to say no. Don't let your mouth overload your back.
Measure your emotions. You don't need an atomic explosion for a minor point.
