Words
“ May your past be the sound of your feet upon the ground. Carry on. ”
Snippet of Carry On lyrics by Fun.
“ The secret of the comic isn’t what you see in each frame. It’s the little gutter, the space in between the frames. Because the artist doesn’t draw it in, that space is left up to you. It pulls you in. ”
Scott McCloud
“ We have little choice but to move beyond quality and seek remarkable, connected, and new. ”

Respond to Change
Charles Darwin said:
It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent, but the one most responsive to change.
Same should be applied to your career efforts. It’s no longer enough just to maintain, you have to change to stay in the game. Don’t stop learning.
“ During a career transition, someone who can go six to twelve months without earning money had different options — indeed, a significant advantage — over someone who can’t go more than a month or two without a paycheck. ”
Reid Hoff in The Startup of You
“ I wage an unending internal war on stasis. A life too settled is no longer a life but an afterlife, and I want no part of it. ”
Elkhonon Goldberg in The Wisdom Paradox
“ It is so important to be light on your feet, inquisitive and interested in being wrong. You have that wonderful fascination with the what if questions, but you also need absolute focus and a keen insight into the context and what is important - that is really terribly important. It’s about contradictions you have to navigate. ”
