long-walks bridges want
I learned that a long walk and calm conversation are an incredible combination if you want to build a bridge.
art pieces wonder
You cannot create a piece of art merely for money. Doing it as part of commerce so denudes art of wonder that it ceases to be art.
music powerful records
Remember the Bob Dylan rule: it's not just a record, it's a movement.
video action seeing
Learning is not watching a video, learning is taking action and seeing what happens.
simple journey ideas
The challenge is simple: Quitting when you hit the Dip is a bad idea. If the journey you started was worth doing, then quitting when you hit the Dip just wastes the time you’ve already invested. Quit in the Dip often enough and you’ll find yourself becoming a serial quitter, starting many things but accomplishing little. Simple: If you can’t make it through the Dip, don’t start. If you can embrace that simple rule, you’ll be a lot choosier about which journeys you start.

journey talking people
If it were any other way, it would be easy. And if it were any other way, everyone would do it and your work would ultimately be devalued. The yin and yang are clear: without people pushing against your quest to do something worth talking about, it's unlikely it would be worth the journey. Persist.
inspirational goal support
Set a goal, and in small, consistent steps, work to reach it. Get support from your peers when you start flagging. Repeat. You will change.
jobs doors needs
If you need to conceal your true nature to get in the door, understand that you'll probably have to conceal your true nature to keep that job.
successful saying-nothing waste
Why waste a sentence saying nothing?
