You’ve got a hand and a voice
Oh, but every bad thing that’s happened to you has happened to better men.
So don’t explain that you’ve lost your way, that you’ve got no place to go: You’ve got a hand and a voice and you’re not alone, brother, that’s all you need to know.

Calm nature
There is pleasure in the pathless woods.
There is rapture on the lonely shore.
There is society where none intrues.
By the deep sea and music in its roar.
I love not man the less, but nature more.

Put in the hard work
There’s no talent here, this is hard work.
This is an obsession.
Talent does not extist, we are all equals as human beings. You could be anyone if you put in the time. You will reach the top, and that’s that.
I am not talented, I am obsessed.

Integrity is everything
No matter how educated, talented, rich or cool you believe you are, how you treat people ultimately tells all. Integrity is everything.

What if you fly?
There is freedom waiting for you, on the breezes of the sky, and you ask “What if I fall?”
Oh but my darling, what if you fly?
