I think we should stop asking people in their twenties what they 'want to do' and start asking them what they don't want to do.
You have to be where you are to get where you need to go.
I had no idea how to get guys to notice me. I still don't. Who cares?
Sometimes you need to know to quit while you're ahead or at least before things get much worse!
Try to keep your mind open to possibilities and your mouth closed on matters that you don't know about. Limit your 'always' and your 'nevers.'
If you can surf your life rather than plant your feet, you will be happier.
The only way we will survive is by being kind. The only way we can get by in this world is through the help we receive from others. No one can do it alone, no matter how great the machines are.
As you navigate through the rest of your life, be open to collaboration. Other people and other people's ideas are often better than your own. Find a group of people who challenge and inspire you, spend a lot of time with them, and it will change your life.
Anybody who doesn't make you feel good, kick them to the curb. And the earlier you start in your life, the better.
Treat your career like a bad boyfriend... Your career wont take care of you. It won't call you back or introduce you to its parents. Your career will openly flirt with other people while you are around... You have to care about your work, but not about the result. You have to care about how good you are and how good you feel, but not about how good people think you are or how good people think you look.
To some people, not caring is supposed to be cool, commenting is more interesting than doing, and everything is judged and then disposed of in, like, five minutes. I'm not interested in those kinds of people. I like the person who commits and goes all in and takes big swings and then maybe fails or looks stupid; who jumps and falls down, rather than the person who points at the person who fell, and laughs. But I do sometimes laugh when people fall down.
The truth is, writing is this: hard and boring and occasionally great but usually not.
When you host a show you have to hopefully be funny at the top and set the tone for a really fun evening.
Sleep is out... tired is the new black.
