Someone can always do your job a little better or faster or cheaper than you can.

Isn't the drawing board the place where all the best work happens? It's not a bad thing to go back there. It's the entire point.

The time to look for a new job is when you don't need one. The time to switch jobs is before it feels comfortable.

Fitting in is a short-term strategy, standing out pays off in the long run.

We don't need to be taught to make art, but sometimes we need permission to do so. Following instructions is overrated.

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.

Go do something interesting. Ask if you need help.
