Don't get comfortable. Ever. If you're not too comfortable, it's always easier to leave, to move on, and hopefully to move up.

Ignore the competition and just run your race. People will try to distract you. Keep your eyes straight ahead and run your race.

You have to be confident in your potential, and aware of your inexperience. And that's really tough.

I'd rather be wrong and cringe than right and regret not speaking up.

The happiest and most successful people I know don't just love what they do, they're obsessed with solving an important problem, something that matters to them. They remind me of a dog chasing a tennis ball.

You're the average of the five people you spend the most time with. Surrounding yourself with inspiring people is now just as important as being talented or working hard.

A career decision based only on money and not on love of the work or a desire to make a difference is a recipe for unhappiness.

You have to figure out what you love to do, what you have conviction about, and go do that.

When you're doing what you love to do, you become resilient. You create a habit of taking chances on yourself.

Don't write what you already know, write what you want to know.

Less is more is a lesson that can be applied to most things.

You don't have to have a dream. Be micro-ambitious. Put your head down and work with pride on whatever is in front of you. You never know where you might end up.
