Better to fail spectacularly than do something mediocre.

Never lose the childlike wonder. Show gratitude... Don't complain; just work harder... Never give up.

Wait long enough and people will surprise and impress. When you're pissed off at someone and you're angry at them, you just haven't given them enough time. Just give them a little more time and they almost always will impress you.

Time must be explicitly managed, like money.

Believe nothing a man tells you and everything he shows you"....(Taken from a farewell video from a dying father to his infant daughter on dating)

if you offer wisdom from a third party, it seems less arrogant and more acceptable.

We cannot change the cards we are dealt, just how we play the hand. If I don’t seem as depressed or morose as I should be, sorry to disappoint you.
