If you love writing or making music or blogging or any sort of performing art, then do it. Do it with everything you've got. Just don't plan on using it as a shortcut to making a living.

The rest of the world isn't nearly as important as the few who are here.

The art, the new, the ability to connect the dots and to make an impact - sooner or later, that can only come from one who creates, not from a teacher and not from a book.

You don't have to settle. It's a choice you get to make every day.

Remarkable visions and genuine insights are always met with resistance.

The market and the consumer and idea trump the system.

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.
