— Versatile Author & Creative StorytellerThe first thing I would say to young writers is, "Don't do it, unless you can't stand not to do it." And the second thing I would say is, "If you do do it, and get into it, the constant rule you should have in mind is to explore your material." It sounds simple, but it isn't, because people often want to get from A to B, and they don't stop to look at what is in the material.

Suzy Kassem
— Writer, director, philosopher, poet, and citizen of the worldIf you hold a candle close to you, its flame rises. And if you hold it away from you, its flame shrinks. The same way you hold a candle close to you, keep all your plans, aspirations, projects, and dreams close to you too.

Envy, jealousy, and resentment will put out your flame before it grows.

I always went back to try again when circumstances came around to it.
Allyson Felix
— American AthleteThe biggest way I stay motivated is to run with a group of friends. Sometimes it's hard to get going by yourself, but if you have a plan and a meeting time, you know this run will happen for sure. It's a way to have fun - while also getting in a workout. Plus it distracts from pain, helps you fight fatigue, and gives you that extra push.

— Writer, director, philosopher, poet, and citizen of the worldWhatever your passion is, keep doing it. Don't waste time chasing after success or comparing yourself to others.

You will triumph.
Nick Vujicic
— Australian American Christian evangelist and motivational speakerIf you're feeling alone, and your weariness has grown, look up above, and thank God for His love.

Something beautiful will come, the clouds will part for the sun, the skies will break for the Son, and the Father will say 'Well done.' But until then, until then, you're not alone. He can make bread from stone. Hold on to Him, and He'll hold on to you. Take one day at a time, pray for faith and be kind, and when forgetful becomes your mind, remember what He said, 'You are mine.'
