Success is a pile of failure that you are standing on.

This is not a game, ... Debt has become a part of who we are. It's become that spoiled child in the grocery store with their lip stuck out: 'I want it. I want it. I deserve it because I breathe air.' And, well, that's an uphill climb in our culture right now, to go against that and say, 'Hey, let's be grownups here. Let's be mature, learn to delay pleasure, save up and pay for things.'

When people get scared, they quit giving.

The creature comforts we tend to rationalize as "business expenses I can write off."

One definition of maturity is learning to delay pleasure.

Debt is normal. Be weird.

You have the clean canvas of a whole week before you. Paint well.
