Wisdom

Always ask the turtle.

Laughter is the most revolutionary emotion because it is free. It is the only emotion that is free. Fear can be compelled. Even love can be compelled. But laughter is an 'aha' of understanding — it's an orgasm of the mind.

Get ready for my generation to tell you everything that can't be done. They should know — they can't be done. After all, we're the ones who didn't do them.

The opposite of love isn't hate. It isn't even indifference. It's fear.

Don't make the mistake of comparing your twisted up insides to other people's blow-dried outsides.

Objective truths are true whether or not you believe in them.

It's okay to map out your future — but do it in pencil.

How many times do we label someone with our first impressions only to be proven wrong? The tattooed motorcycle guy who turns out to be a teddy bear, the buttoned-up co-worker who actually knows how to party.

In this text, tweet, twerk world that you've grown up in, remember that just because you're doing a lot more doesn't mean you're getting a lot more done. Don't confuse movement with progress.

Your fulfillment in life will not come from how well you explore your freedom and keep your options open. Your fulfillment in life will come by how well you end your freedom. Your primary mission in life is to be really good at making commitments.

Success leads to the greatest failure, which is arrogance and pride. Failure can lead to the greatest success, which is humility and learning. In order to fulfill yourself, you have to forget yourself. In order to find yourself, you have to lose yourself.

The highest joy is found in sending down roots. It's the things you chain yourself to that set you free.
