And, like any great relationship, it just gets better and better as the years roll on. So keep looking until you find it. Don’t settle.”

10. “Design is not just what it looks like and feels like. Design is how it works.”

11. “You can’t connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking bacwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something. Your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. Because believing that the dots will connect down the road will give you the confidence to follow you heart, even when it leads you off the well worn path. And that will make all the difference.”

They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.”
