Do good work and share it with people.

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

Don't think of your website as a self-promotion machine, think of it as a self-invention machine.

The best way to get started on the path of sharing your work is to think about what you want to learn, and make a commitment to learning it in front of others.

We're always being told 'find your voice.' When I was younger, I never really knew what this meant. I used to worry a lot about voice, wondering if I had my own. But now I realize that the only way to find your voice is to use it. It's hardwired, built into you. Talk about the things you love. Your voice will follow.

If we're free from the burden of trying to be completely original, we can stop trying to make something out of nothing, and we can embrace influence instead of running from it.

Your brain gets too comfortable in your everyday surroundings. You need to make it uncomfortable. You need to spend some time in another land, among people that do things differently than you. Travel makes the world look new, and when the world looks new, our brains work harder.
