I know what it's like to squander all your hours and all your tears and all your heart on something which turns out to be nothing. Don't waste your time.

There’s no such thing as ruining your life. Life’s a pretty resilient thing, it turns out.

There's no luck in business. There's only drive, determination, and more drive.

You don't always have to know who you are. Sometimes, it's enough just to know what to do next.
