Just stumbled across this and had to capture/share it. This is some sage advice from a very wise woman in the branding and creative field. I feel like I might need to repeat this to myself every day (perhaps multiple times).

If you’re not making mistakes, you’re not taking enough risks.
Expect anything worthwhile to take a long time.
Work very, very hard.
Ask for opportunities.
Finish what you start.
Say “yes and” to almost everything.
Busy is a decision.
Confidence is overrated.
Learn and build from your failures, but…
It is only a failure if you accept defeat.
