You create your luck by being healthy and not regretting the past or being anxious about the future.

The only truly safe thing you can do is to try over and over again. To go for it, to get rejected, to repeat, to strive, to wish. Without rejection there is no frontier, there is no passion, and there is no magic.

When you get in the mud with a pig, you get dirty and the pig gets happy.

If you act like the river, you ultimately flow past all the rocks along the way.

Sometimes it's better to just be quiet, to not think of anything at all. Out of silence comes the greatest creativity.

The reality is: when you're slouched over, not only are you not using the full potential of your brain, but you look untrustworthy.

Your bosses simply hate you. You created more and more value. They paid you less and less. That's the definition of disdain in my book.
