Get away from the place that makes you feel comfortable with your depression. The reality is it’s never as bad as the insanity you’ve created in your head.

The Internet’s a big enough place for everybody to be happy.

The worst thing in the world is to be bland.

We tell ourselves we’re here to be flexible and to be nimble, and not necessarily to stick to a master plan.

The fact of the matter is that the Internet has brought together millions of people who trust one another for reasons that are unknown.

The awesome part about The Book of Awesome is the realization that if you enjoy the simple moments in your life, you will be happier.

You need to put the fear of risk aside. Startups need leaders who are willing to persevere through the hard times. Failure is an option, and a real risk.

Only those who live forever can act like there’s time to waste.

Failure and risk are something entrepreneurs should understand well, and learn to manage. Don’t have a fear of talking about your failures. Don’t hide your mistakes.

I think it would be great if more adults were able to maintain that joyful creativity that we all experience as children.

A good story is like a bitter pill, with the sugar coating inside of it.

There is no future for a people who deny their past.
