Hard times produce your greatest gifts.
Reading a book by someone you respect allows some of their brilliance to rub off on you.
Do your best. And then let life do the rest.
Nothing fails like success. Because when you are at the top, it's so easy to stop doing the very things that brought you to the top.
On the other side of the fear live your possibilities.
Best way to learn how life works is to have the guts to truly go out and live it!
