No matter what happens in life, be good to people. Being good to people is a wonderful legacy to leave behind.
The world is full of magical things patiently waiting for our wits to grow sharper.
Separate the processes of creation from improving. You can’t write and edit, or sculpt and polish, or make and analyze at the same time. If you do, the editor stops the creator. While you invent, don’t select. While you sketch, don’t inspect. While you write the first draft, don’t reflect. At the start, the creator mind must be unleashed from judgement.
