Don't write to sell, write to tell.

Be the kind of person who catches the shit before it hits the fan, not the one who scrapes it off afterwards.

Believe in human beings - not all are good, but deep down all can be. But that doesn't mean you need to hang around crappy people and try to turn them around.

If you appreciate the small things, you're likely to get the big ones.

Make life easier by living in the present and believing in the future.
