Never play to the gallery. Never work for other people at what you do.
Always remember that the reason you initially started working, was that there was something inside yourself that you felt that if you could manifest it in some way, you would...

Western culture has things a little backwards right now. We think that if we had every comfort available to us… We’d be happy.
We equate comfort with happiness.
And now we’re so comfortable we’re miserable.
There’s no struggle in our lives.

You may write me down in history
With your bitter, twisted lies,

We all grow up with dreams of what we can be.

Your time is limited.
So don’t waste it living someone else’s life.
Don’t be trapped by dogma- which is living with the results of other people’s thinking.
Don’t let the noise of other’s opinions drown out your own inner voice.
And most...

They have wisdom to impart. They have lessons to share.
They tell you; follow your dreams, change the world, make your mark…
