The tiny cost of failure...is dwarfed by the huge cost of not trying.

Anxiety is experiencing failure in advance. Tell yourself enough vivid stories about the worst possible outcome of your work and you'll soon come to believe them. Worry is not preparation, and anxiety doesn't make you better.

Anxiety is practising failure in advance. Anxiety is needless and imaginary. It's fear about fear, fear that means nothing.

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.

It's not an accident that successful people read more books.

Before you tell yourself you have no right to invent this or improve that, remind yourself that the person before you had no right either, but did it anyway.

Play a new game, not the older game but faster.
