Pretend to be making something until you actually make something.

Establishing and keeping a routine can be even more important than having a lot of time.

If you’re worried about giving your secrets away, you can share your dots without connecting them.

The more good ideas you collect, the more you can choose from to be influenced by.

The people who get what they’re after are very often the ones who just stick around long enough.

Not everybody will get it. People will misinterpret you and what you do. They might even call you names. So get comfortable with being misunderstood, disparaged, or ignored -- the trick is to be too busy doing your work to care.

Draw the art you want to see, start the business you want to run, play the music you want to hear, write the books you want to read, build the products you want to use – do the work you want to see done.
