I looked around and acknowledged that what you see around you is proof of what exists within you.

Creating something new is easy, creating something that lasts is the challenge.

Each of the bracelets I wear is from a long trip I've taken. One is from Nicaragua. One is from Nepal. One is from Guatemala. One is from Laos. They don't come off. I walk into a lot of very high-level boardrooms now, and I present to distinguished conferences, but these bracelets remind me of the places I've been and the people I've met.

In moments of uncertainty...i mmerse yourself in the life you would be most proud to live.

What can a pencil do for all of us? Amazing things. It can write transcendent poetry, uplifting music, or life-changing equations; it can sketch the future, give life to untold beauty, and communicate the full-force of our love and aspirations.

That's when the magic happens- when everyone else is asleep and you're awake thinking about the world as it is, and the world as it could be. Make the most of those moments.

In those moments when priorities clash always stay guided by your values, not your perceived necessities.
