Everyone gets lucky for some amount in their life. And the question is, are you alert enough to know you're being lucky or you're becoming lucky?

You need to fail in order to find the right solution.

People have presences, both online and in real life. You can choose to show everything, meaning all sides of you, or you can choose to be selective.

I was never as focused in math, science, computer science, etcetera, as the people who were best at it. I wanted to create amazing screensavers that did beautiful visualizations of music. It's like, "Oh, I have to learn computer science to do that."

If you've got an idea, start today. There's no better time than now to get going.

I grew up as a photo nut. Every Christmas I would get a new camera. It's a huge part of my life.

A lot of the earliest Instagram celebrities took really beautiful photos. But you're starting to see a change where it's not about beauty; it's about the story that you tell.
