Personal

“Don’t rely on someone else for your happiness and self-worth. Only you can be responsible for that. If you can’t love and respect yourself – no one else will be able to make that happen. Accept who you are – completely; the good and the bad – and make changes as YOU see fit – not because you think someone else wants you to be different.”

Entrepreneurship

“The media wants overnight successes (so they have someone to tear down). Ignore them. Ignore the early adopter critics that never have enough to play with. Ignore your investors that want proven tactics and predictable instant results. Listen instead to your real customers, to your vision and make something for the long haul. Because that’s how long it’s going to take, guys.

— Seth Godin, author, entrepreneur, marketer, and public speaker

Education

“Often, education is not about you becoming a new person, but becoming the person you were meant to be, and already are, but don’t know how to be.”

— Heath Buckmaster
