Love your experiments (as you would an ugly child). Joy is the engine of growth. Exploit the liberty in casting your work as beautiful experiments, iterations, attempts, trials, and errors. Take the long view and allow yourself the fun of failure every day.

Don't clean your desk. You might find something in the morning that you can't see tonight.

Don’t be cool. Cool is conservative fear dressed in black.
