Do not seek praise. Seek criticism.

To be original, seek your inspiration from unexpected sources.

Your vision of where or who you want to be is the greatest asset you have. Without having a goal it's difficult to score.

Talent helps, but it won't take you as far as ambition.

Do not covet your ideas. Give away everything you know and more will come back to you.

You need to aim beyond what you are capable of.

Successful solutions are often made by people rebelling against bad briefs.

Failure was a major contributor to its success.
