Shoot for the stars.
Watch that they don't shoot back.

Pull yourself up by your bootstraps.
Mind the gravity.

Poor your blood, sweat, and tears into it.
Have saline solution and a blood donor on standby.

Never give in; never give up; never go back.
You'll need the persistence because you'll never get there.

March to the beat of your own drum.
Not too loudly; there are noise ordinances.

Take the bull by the horns.
Mess with the bull; get the horns.

Put your heart and soul into it.
I'm sure you can handle being disembodied.

Believe in yourself.
Congratulations, you've become self-aware.

Fortune favors the bold;
taxmen prey on the fortunate.
