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.

One bad review doesn't ruin my day because I realize what a badge of honor it is to get a bit of criticism at all.

Go ahead, do something impossible.

The wettest, weirdest environment is human interaction. Whatever we build gets misunderstood, corroded and chronic, and it happens quickly and in unpredictable ways. That's one reason why the web is so fascinating-it's a collision between the analytic world of code and wet world of people.

My best advice: win little battles. Get in the habit of winning, of shipping, of having customers that can't live without you. Once you've demonstrated you know how to do the art, then go after the windmills.

Tell your lizard (brain) to shut up.

The best creative solutions don't come from finding good answers to the questions that are presented... They come from inventing new questions!
