Be your own worst critic. When things go wrong it's tempting to shift the blame. Don't. Accept responsibility. People will appreciate it, and you will find out what you're capable of.

Be unfashionable. Take risks.

It's better to regret what you have done than what you haven't.

Great people have great egos; maybe that's what makes them great.

If you can't solve a problem, it's because you're playing by the rules

Do not seek praise. Seek criticism.

Do not covet your ideas.
