You must be hard on yourself and know when it’s time to quit, but you must be even more relentless when it comes to staying on the job and push through if that is what the situation is demanding.

Trust your inner judgment. Be prepared to work for what you know is right, but avoid the insufferable tragedies of running with the infectious, and you will have invaluable tools at your disposal for the rest of your life.

The reoccurring thoughts of leaving are the signs that will let you know it is time to quit and find prosperity somewhere else.

Always maintain a steady eye on what you know is yours for the taking, and plot with all the energy you can muster to reach it.

People’s judgments, criticisms and power games won’t hit you as hard when your plan is greater than the assault.

One of the greatest dangers for us creators is that we are impatiently waiting for inspiration to strike before we begin our work. The reason why this is so dangerous is that inspiration never strikes, it caresses us with its presence the moment we start working.
