Every day I meet people who have so much to give but have been...frighten ed enough to hold it back. It's time to stop complying with the system and draw your own map. You have brilliance in you, your contribution is essential, and the art you create is precious. Only you can do it, and you must.

All artists are entrepreneurs. All entrepreneurs are artists.

We're better in the rearview mirror than we are at predicting - 'cause you're never going to be right every time. You can handicap it. You can point to certain elements that make it work, and many of those elements come straight out of epidemiology, right?

Your biggest failure is the thing you dreamed of contributing but didn't find the guts to do.

Reject the tyranny of picked. Pick yourself.
