Don’t ignore your dreams; don’t work too much; say what you think; cultivate friendships; be happy.
Don’t be a cog.
DARK SIDE OF THE LENS (by Astray Films)
You will find that there is no half-measure when it comes to loving someone. You either don’t, or you do with every cell in your body, completely and utterly, without reservation or apology. It consumes you, and you are reborn, all the better for it.
The whole idea of advertising is stop me from doing what I want, so it can sell me something I don’t actually need.

A clear horizon — nothing to worry about on your plate, only things that are creative and not destructive… I can’t bear quarreling, I can’t bear feelings between people — I think hatred is wasted energy, and it’s all non-productive. I’m very sensitive — a sharp word, said by a person, say, who has a temper, if they’re close for me, haunts me for days. I know we’re only human, we do go in for these various emotions, call them negative emotions, but when all these are removed and you can look forward and the road is clear ahead, and now you’re going to create something — I think that’s as happy as I’ll ever want to be.
Everything was made.
Each invention shows that the world is malleable, from the simplest stone tool to the screen you’re using to read this. We make what we want, break things in the process, collect what we like, and connect what we discover to get us closer to where we want to be.
Design imposes a shape on to the world. We mold things to take us somewhere better.
The chase is on Better ideas Better work Better lives
We can make this for ourselves, but we get the chance to do so for others.
The things we make for one another braid us together.
We’re quick to forget that human hands touch everything. The bonds that join us are revealed by the fingerprints we leave on what we make.
Those fingerprints highlight our codependency. We need one another to make things, and it means we get the opportunity to remake it all, too.
Things can be better, so there is work to do.
The world is not yet done.
Lucky us
The Storm and The Line
And once the storm is over you won’t remember how you made it through, how you managed to survive. You won’t even be sure, in fact, whether the storm is really over. But one thing is certain. When you come out of the storm you won’t be the same person who walked in.

If you want your kids to know you, spend time with them. (Biographer unnecessary.)
Big wins happen when you go beyond better sameness.
Be yourself and work as hard as you can to bring wonderful things into the world. Figure out how you want to contribute and do that, in your own way, on your own terms, as hard as you can, as much as you can, as long as you can.
