Don't think of your website as a self-promotion machine, think of it as a self-invention machine.
Show your work, and when the right people show up, pay close attention to them, because they'll have a lot to show you.
Today isn't just another day. Today I'll create something beautiful.
So go on, get angry. But keep your mouth shut and go do your work.
Creative people need time to just sit around and do nothing.
Be curious about the world in which you live. Look things up. Chase down every reference. Go deeper than anybody else--that's how you'll get ahead.
