. If you have any doubt at all about being able to carry a load in one trip, do yourself a huge favor and make two trips.. That thing that made you weird as a kid could make you great as an adult – if you don’t lose it.

Work where there are no words for what you do

If something fails where you thought it would fail, that is not a failure.

  • Be governed by the important things
  • Leave a gate behind you the way you first found it
  • The greatest rewards come from working on something that nobody has a name for

Being poor is an advantage in innovation

Ignore what others may think of you, because they aren’t.

  • It is much easier to change how you think by changing your behavior than changing your thinking
  • You are given the gift of life in order to discover what your gift in life is. You will complete your mission when you figure out what your mission is
  • Don’t treat people as bad as they are. Treat them as good as you are
  • A problem that can be solved with money is not really a problem
  • When you are stuck, sleep on it

All guns are loaded

Many backward steps are made by standing still

  • This is the best time ever to make something
  • No rain, no rainbow
  • Every person you meet knows an amazing lot about something you know virtually nothing about
  • You don’t marry a person, you marry a family
  • Always give credit, take blame
  • Be frugal in all things, except in your passions splurge
  • When making something, always get a few extras – extra material, extra parts, extra space, extra finishes
  • Something does not need to be perfect to be wonderful
  • The best way to untangle a knotty tangle is not to “untie” the knots, but to keep pulling the loops apart wider and wider

Don’t create things to make money; make money so you can create things.

Assume anyone asking for your account information for any reason is guilty of scamming you, unless proven innocent

  • If you can avoid seeking approval of others, your power is limitless
  • Work to become, not to acquire
  • On the way to a grand goal, celebrate the smallest victories as if each one were the final goal no matter where it ends you are victorious

Gratitude

Writing down one thing you are grateful for each day is the cheapest possible therapy ever
