3 IDEAS FROM ME
I.
“Learning more will increase knowledge, but only attempting more will reduce fear. The more you try it, the less you will fear it.”
II.
“If the path is crowded, differentiate.
If the path is empty, validate.”
III.
“One of the best positions to be in: young, talented, and the underdog.
That's like a cocktail for making something great. You're hungry to prove yourself. You're young enough to not care about how it's previously been done. And, usually, you have fewer responsibilities to pull you away from the work.”
2 QUOTES FROM OTHERS
I.
Designer Victoria Pater reminds us that life responds to the signals we send:
“Only show work you like, or you'll end up being hired to do things you don't like.”

II.
Writer and scholar C.S. Lewis on what matters most:
“To be happy at home is the end of all human endeavor. The sun looks down on nothing half so good as a household laughing together over a meal, or two friends talking over a pint of beer, or a person alone reading a book that interests them; and all economics, politics, laws, armies, and institutions, are only valuable in so far as they prolong and multiply such scenes.”
