Crushing It! Quotes

“Being unafraid of making mistakes makes everything easy for me.

Hear me now: you are better off being wrong ten times and being right three than you are if you try only three times and always get it right.”

That is something that people don’t understand when they hear, “Follow your passion.” They hear rainbows, unicorns, bullshit. But the truth of it is that it’s important, because if you don’t enjoy what you’re doing, you’re going to be that much more likely to quit when shit’s hard.”
