To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
Know or listen to those who know.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
Who seeks shall find.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
To me, it all comes down to things being character-driven. It's hard for me to look beyond that. CG and all this cool stuff - so be it. But to me, it pretty much begins and ends with character-driven plots rather than technologically-driven plots.
