“Even your goals don't care how you feel.”
Timsux Wales

Robin S. Baker
“The proof is in the pudding. No one will believe in your skills and talents until you put them into action. Continuously telling people that you’re good at something, isn’t enough. They need to be able to see it to take you seriously.”
Robin S. Baker
