"In school, you are graded on every test—even if it's your weakest subject.
In life, you can choose the tests you take—even if they always play to your strengths.
Maintain a baseline so your weak areas don't hold you back, but design your life so you are graded on your strengths."

"One roadblock almost never ruins you.
There might not be 1000 ways to accomplish something, but there is almost always more than one way.
Know what you want. Be flexible about how to get there."

"The gift of a beginner is fresh eyes.
The longer you're in a field, the harder it is to perceive new truths. Your mind is biased toward refining what you're already doing instead of exploring fresh terrain.
Take your expertise and apply it to something new."
