The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
After a storm comes a calm.
Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
Quality is not an act, it is a habit.
Know or listen to those who know.
Never complain and never explain.
That's something I learned in art school. I studied graphic design in Germany, and my professor emphasized the responsibility that designers and illustrators have towards the people they create things for.
