Do not tell people how to live their lives. Just tell them stories and they will figure out how those stories apply to them.

Time must be explicitly managed, like money.

Better to fail spectacularly than do something mediocre.

When you see yourself doing something badly and nobody's bothering to tell you anymore, that's a very bad place to be. Your critics are the ones telling you they still love you and care.

Never, ever underestimate the importance of having fun.

Proper apologies have three parts: 1) What I did was wrong. 2) I feel badly that I hurt you. 3) How do I make this better?

Want to have a short phone call with someone? Call them at 11:55 a.m., right before lunch. They'll talk fast. You may think you are interesting, but you are not more interesting than lunch.
