Celebrate your successes. Find some humor in your failures. Don't take yourself so seriously. Loosen up, and everyone around you will loosen up. Have fun. Show enthusiasm. Always.

I don’t ask writers about their work habits. I really don’t care. Joyce Carol Oates says somewhere that when writers ask each other what time they start working and when they finish and how much time they take for lunch, they’re actually trying to find out, ‘Is he as crazy as I am?’ I don’t need that question answered.

I don't care about being first. I care about being best.

先爱自己，其他一切随之而来。

The soul is like an uninhabited world that comes to life only when God lays His head against us.

【释义】事先考虑好可能的问题，就不会陷入困境；提前做好准备，就不会陷入绝境。

种下一棵树的人，种下了希望。
