Growth

A rich life is a balanced life. Don't focus too early on your career. Deviate a bit. Embrace change.

Allow life to take you on its glorious journey. The best time to do it is now, when you're young and full of curiosity and have no fear.

And so rock bottom became the solid foundation on which I rebuilt my life.

Experience is what you get when you didn't get what you wanted.

When you're screwing up and nobody's saying anything to you anymore, that means they gave up. Your critics are your ones telling you they still love you and care.

Honor your curiosity. It is one of the most powerful forces you possess.

Don't be defined or limited by the steps you've taken in life or the degree you've chosen.

You don't outgrow art. The same work can mean something different at each stage of your life.

Graduation is a time for us to celebrate all of our achievements, but don't stop there. Don't forget to dream big, go far, and never stop learning.

Graduate now. We are pushing you out of the tub, out of the nest, out into the world, a world which we think that you will find is at least your older brother and a place where you belong.

Coming back is the thing that enables you to see how all the dots in your life are connected, how one decision leads you to another, how one twist of fate, good or bad, brings you to a door that later takes you to another door.

Your path is your character defining itself more and more every day like a photograph coming into focus, like a color that becomes more vivid in contrast with its surroundings.
