Take a chance on your own abilities clearly, neither exaggerating them nor under-assessing them.

As I have told you before, in a manner of speaking you are given the gifts of gods. Your beliefs become reality. What you believe is, and becomes real in your experience. There is no area in your life to which this does not apply.

It is not virtuous in any way to put yourself down, or to punish yourself, because you do not feel you have lived up to your best behavior at any given time.

Do not place the words of ANYONE above the feelings of your own being. You can learn much from others, but the deepest knowledge must come from within yourself.

The only purpose of starting is to finish, and while the projects we do are never really finished, they must ship.

The ends do not justify the means

There's a huge difference between the shallow pleasure of instant applause and the long-lasting impact of true connection.
