You can't make money without selling something real. You can't make something real without first imagination manifesting itself in your head. You can't have imagination without surrendering yourself to an idea that you want to create something of value to other human beings.

The idea that we need to “pay our dues” is a lie told to us by people who wanted our efforts and labor on the cheap.

Everyone is different. We all suffer from the disease of being human. There are a thousand cures but no antidotes.

Be honest about mistakes. Even if you are afraid of what people think.

My feeling, based on my own experience, is that aiming for grandiosity is the fastest route to failure.

If two people believe in the same story, they might be thousands of miles apart and total strangers, but they still have a sense they can trust each other.

It's easy to get anonymous people to hate you. Have an opinion. Be creative. Be yourself.
