From all of us to all of you, a very Merry Christmas. The world won't discover you until you find yourself. Failure isn't failing at the project at hand, failure is giving up on yourself. Statistics are no substitute for judgement. It's a fine thing to have ability, but the ability to discover ability in others is a true test.
Talk is cheap because supply exceeds demand.
Whatever you can do, or dream you can do, begin it. Boldness has excitement, power, and magic in it. The real art of conversation is not only to say the right thing at the right time, but to leave unsaid the wrong thing at the tempting time. Now put foundations under them. Never be afraid to try something new.
