1. Talent is one-third of the success equation.
2. 95 percent of any creative profession is shit work.

5. Start with what you know; then remove the unknowns.
6. Don’t forget your goal.

8. The road to hell is paved with good intentions; or, no good deed goes unpunished.
9. It all comes down to output.
10. The rest of the world counts.
