Rod Judkins
“An artist is not a passive consumer of the world but an active creator of the world. So be careful what you create – you're going to live there.”
Rod Judkins, Lie like an artist: Communicate successfully by focusing on essential truths

“A strong desire for the best creates a positive spirit”
Benjamin Suulola
