“It is important to use your hands. This is what distinguishes you from a cow or a computer operator.”
“The nature of process, to one degree or another, involves failure. You have at it. It doesn’t work. You keep pushing. It gets better. But it’s not good. It gets worse. You got at it again. Then you desperately stab at it, believing “this isn’t going to work.” And it does!”

“It’s not about passion. Passion is something that we tend to overemphasize, that we certainly place too much importance on. Passion ebbs and flows. To me, it’s about desire. If you have constant, unwavering desire to be a [blank], then you’ll be a great [blank]. If it’s only about passion, sometimes you’ll be good and sometimes you won’t. You’ve got to come in every day with a strong desire.”
“Decide in your heart of hearts what really excites and challenges you, and start moving your life in that direction. Every decision you make, from what you eat to what you do with your time tonight, turns you into who you are tomorrow, and the day after that. Look at who you want to be, and start sculpting yourself into that person. You may not get exactly where you thought you’d be, but you will be doing things that suit you in a profession you believe in. Don’t let life randomly kick you into the adult you don’t want to become.”

“Don’t try to be different. Just be good. To be good is different enough.”
Ten Lessons from Bob Goff’s “Love Does”
1. Your life is not defined by what you believe in, it’s about what you actively and deliberately participate in.
2. Don’t be afraid of failing at things that matter, be afraid of succeeding at things that don’t.
3. Stop thinking you shape circumstances and start letting them shape you.
4. Say yes, and see what happens.
5. Words don’t just describe who you are, they shape who you are.
6. Sharing your life with the right people is really important.
7. You can learn as much from a Jeep Wrangler as you can from a teacher, you just need to pay attention.
8. It’s more important to put your time into doing something, rather than putting it into trying to be someone.
9. Religion tastes awful, especially when you eat the fake stuff.
10. Don’t wait for every door to be opened for you, get ready to kick a few down.
