- Be sure of where your next step will fall, less you tumble naked and shamefully too.
- Be sure of your final destination, in case you are going the wrong way.
- Be worried about your going to, not your going through.
- Be going, to those who you love. Be loving to those who do not love you; they may still change.
- Always remember that life affords every human a certain level of opportunity.
- Don’t ever forget that there is little drop of greatness in every creature and that includes you.
- Be informed that you are the seed that will decide the harvest around you.
- Be informed that who or what you will become has nothing to do with who are your parents, where you came from or who you are related to. This is a function of who or what you make out of yourself.
- Whatever you do will matter some day. Will the girl/boy you are today be proud of the woman/man you will be tomorrow? Fortune favors the brave.
This is the product of Idle but fertile
imagination.
