“The most important step of all is the first step. Start something! What if that idea you have in the back of your head is a really good one, one that might end up helping tens of thousands of people? You owe it to the world ot act. Or maybe it will help only a few people: The same advice applies. If you don't do it, you are missing out on something big, and so are the people who could have been helped.” PeopleIfsWorldFirstsHas BeensImportantIdeasEndsHelpingBigsMightMotivationalStepsAdviceMissingEntrepreneurshipMaking A DifferenceWhat IfFirst StepsInitiativeCould Have BeenMissing Out Author:Blake Mycoskie
“I fear that I can no longer travel without technology. Twenty years ago, I loved getting on a bus in West Africa and taking off for a city I'd never been to before, relying on advice from out-of-date travel books and fellow passengers on the bus. Now, I end up using TripAdvisor, Yelp, and Google Maps. I probably eat and sleep better when I'm on the road, but I miss the mystery of travel when it was more random and unpredictable.” YearsI CanBookEndsSleepCitiesTechnologyMysteryAdviceMissingYears AgoTwentiesFellowsWestMapsBusGoogleUnpredictablePassengersWest AfricaTravel BooksGoogle Maps Author:Ethan Zuckerman

“I don't ever feel a full transition to my character. I don't ever feel like I have left myself, because if I did, I would need professional medical attention. I always have to keep my own wits about me, or I would miss a mark on the floor, or be unable to follow the director's advice from the last take. However, when I'm at my best, I feel like I'm doing an impression of a person I've never met. It feels complete, and yet improvised.” CharacterAttentionAdviceMissingMedicalWitImpression Author:Bryce Pinkham
“The best advice I've got was - "All you have is the process. All you have is the journey of making something. Once you're done you have absolutely no control on how it's received, or if people like it or hate it, or what is done with it. As long as you enjoy the process, then you'll always be happy." I really feel like that's important advice. Sometimes we get so focused on the results that we miss doing it - we miss the adventure of being in the midst of something because we're looking too far ahead.” PeopleLongImportantSometimesDoneHateEnjoyJourneyAdviceMissingAdventureFocusedBest Advice Author:A Fine Frenzy
