You don't have to settle for the status quo, for being good enough, for getting by, for working all night.

Copy, not from your industry, from others. You have to go where there is no competition.

The only people who get paid what they're worth are people who don't follow the instruction book, who create art, who are innovative, who work without a map.

Faith in yourself, in your friends, in your colleagues and most of all, faith in your ability to impact our future is the best strategy I know.

I think if your goal is for everything to be okay, that's a mistake. To achieve that goal, the only obstacle you'd have to face tomorrow is to eliminate all risk ... I've made the decision that I'm never trying to make everything okay. I'm trying for there to be more loose ends, not fewer loose ends.

Initiative is the privilege of picking yourself.

Just saying yes because you can't bear the short-term pain of saying no is not going to help you do the work.
