Easy to spot a yellow car when you are always thinking of a yellow car. Easy to spot opportunity when you are always thinking of opportunity. Easy to spot reasons to be mad when you are always thinking of being mad. You become what you constantly think about. Watch yourself.

Embarrassment is the cost of entry. If you aren't willing to look like a foolish beginner, you'll never become a graceful master.

I feel sorry for Netflix era kids. They will never know the high stakes adrenaline of running to the bathroom/fridge/bedroom in a single ad break, with the beckoning call of a sibling screaming “It’s ONNNNNN” to send you hurdling over furniture to get back in time.

We are living in the greatest times in the history of the world. Innovation in technology & medicine is at an all time high. However, No matter how the times are (good or bad), there will be those who see the good in things & those who don’t. Attitude & perspective will prevail.

I love being a researcher. Imagine getting paid for fulfilling your intellectual curiosity, making beautiful charts/slides, and having people to actually read (or—if you’re lucky—implement) what you write <3

If you’re sitting at your desk job thinking of giving up on your filmmaking dreams – here’s some successful filmmakers who had other careers while working towards their big break:

@danslee My fave tutor at uni had a great journalism 101 lesson: “If someone says it’s raining & another person says it’s dry, it’s not your job to quote them both. Your job is to look out of the f**king window and find out which is true.”
