* You have brains in your head.
You have feet in your shoes.
You can steer yourself
any direction you choose.
You're on your own.
And you know what you know.
And YOU are the one who'll decide where to go.
* You won’t lag behind, because you’ll have the speed.
You’ll pass the whole gang and you’ll soon take the lead.
Wherever you fly, you’ll be the best of the best.
Wherever you go, you will top all the rest.
* I'm sorry to say so
But, sadly it's true
That bang-ups and hang-ups
Can happen to you.
* On and on you will hike, And I know you’ll hike far
and face up to your problems whatever they are.
You’ll get mixed up of course, as you already know.
You’ll get mixed up with many strange birds as you go.
So be sure when you step.
Step with care and great tact
And remember that Life’s a great balancing act.
Just never forget to be dexterous and deft.
And never mix up your right foot with your left.
* Will you succeed?
Yes you will indeed!

- Dr. Seuss
Theodor Geisel, better known as Dr. Seuss, wrote and illustrated dozens of children’s books and other media. His well-known images we’ve all grown to love were often inspired by his father, a zookeeper, who would send him horns, antlers, and other sundry animal parts.
Whether someone is out to convince you of lies or truth, keep your eyes and ears open. Do a little research and you’ll be okay. As it is with everything in life, you can’t be fooled by what they’re selling unless you’re buying. Learning about artists, looking at works of art and making all kinds of your own art will help you decide for yourself what the word “art” means.
Oh, and before I forget, be prepared to make big messes and "never forget to be dexterous and deft. And never mix up your right foot with your left."
