Do the one thing you think you cannot do. Fail at it. Try again. Do better the second time. The only people who never tumble are those who never mount the high wire. This is your moment. Own it.


Passion makes the world go round. Love just makes it a safer place.
The most beautiful make-up of a woman is passion. But cosmetics are easier to buy.
They may forget what you said, but they will never forget how you made them feel.
Nothing separates the generations more than music. By the time a child is eight or nine, he has developed a passion for his own music that is even stronger than his passions for procrastination and weird clothes.
Chase down your passion like it’s the last bus of the night.
When you look into an abyss, the abyss also looks into you.
I have yet to meet a man as fond of high moral conduct as he is of outward appearances.
Clothes and manners do not make the man; but, when he is made, they greatly improve his appearance.
People do not wish to appear foolish. To avoid the appearance of foolishness, they are willing to remain actually fools.
For the great majority of mankind are satisfied with appearance, as though they were realities and are often more influenced by the things that seem than by those that are.
Women should try to increase their size rather than decrease it, because I believe the bigger we are, the more space we’ll take up, and the more we’ll have to be reckoned with.
I dress for the image. Not for myself, not for the public, not for fashion, not for men.

Daffodils


I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o’er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils;
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.
Continuous as the stars that shine
And twinkle on the milky way,
They stretched in never-ending line
Along the margin of a bay:
Ten thousand saw I at a glance,
Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.
The waves beside them danced; but they
Out-did the sparkling waves in glee:
A poet could not but be gay,
In such a jocund company:
I gazed—and gazed—but little thought
What wealth the show to me had brought:
For oft, when on my couch I lie
In vacant or in pensive mood,
They flash upon that inward eye
Which is the bliss of solitude;
And then my heart with pleasure fills,
And dances with the daffodils.

Be a sponge.


When there is so much information being thrown at you, it is time to forget everything you learnt it uni. Why? 2 reasons. 1. Need more space in brain. 2. In uni, you learnt more ways to keep info out than assimilate it. So now, need to do a 180 degree turn.
Leave out the inessentials, focus on that which matters.
Be that person you admire.

Regret is not a luxury you can always allow yourself.


Life may not turn out the way you had envisioned it. Things may not always go as you had planned. Crushes may not always pan out.
But there are so many opportunities around you. Do not let one closed door make you close your eyes to every other opportunity around you.
Be bold. Be ambitious, Be humble. Be open. To ideas, people, their perceptions of you. To learning opportunities, to growth areas.
Be the person you admire.
