“What you do is what matters, not what you think or say or plan.”
“When you don’t know what you believe, everything becomes an argument. Everything is debatable. But when you stand for something, decisions are obvious.”
“If circumstances change, your decisions can change. Decisions are temporary.”
“Working without a plan may seem scary. But blindly following a plan that has no relationship with reality is even scarier.”
“It’s a beautiful way to put it: Leave the poetry in what you make. When something becomes too polished, it loses its soul. It seems robotic.”
“Standing for something isn’t just about writing it down. It’s about believing it and living it.”
“People automatically associate quitting with failure, but sometimes that’s exactly what you should do. If you already spent too much time on something that wasn’t worth it, walk away. You can’t get that time back. The worst thing you can do now is waste even more time.”
