Pale ink is better than the most retentive memory. If it's written down, you can look it up. Just be damn sure you write it down.
Worrying about the past or the future isn't productive. When you start chastising yourself for past mistakes, or seeing disaster around every corner, stop and take a breath and ask yourself what you can do right now to succeed.
Give your subconscious a chance to work by turning your brain off from time to time. Don't focus on work or solving problems constantly.
When you have a dream that you can't let go of, trust your instincts and pursue it. But remember: Real dreams take work, They take patience, and sometimes they require you to dig down very deep. Be sure you're willing to do that.
You'll always get the good news; it's how fast you get the bad news that counts.

If you can't say yes, it's no. Don't sugarcoat it. Don't talk yourself into yes just to seem like a nice guy. No one ever went broke because he or she said "NO" too often.
You're a lot better off being scared than being bored.
