- Do less better.
- Don’t downplay or bash your own work.
- Speak less but say more. Be intentional with language.
- Asking the right questions is harder than finding the right answers.
- In difficult situations, be patient and think about the long run.
- The more you read, the more intelligent you will become.
- The people that are the most pleasant to be around are the ones who make other people feel important.
- Too much time indoors is toxic for anyone.
- Maturity and age are not the same thing.

- Your gut is there for a reason, trust it.
- If possible, work when your creative energy is at its highest.
- Story telling is a difficult art to master.
- Finding the environment where you are most productive is key to success. I work best when other people are around but not talking to me, like at a coffee shop.
- Both positivity and negativity can be contagious.
- Effective leadership often comes from people who are not in charge.
- Nothing good comes from comparing yourself to others.
- Consensus really does kill creativity.
- Perfection is impossible, because it is subjective.
