Keep it positive, find your strengths and polish them. Often it’s all about being persistent, busting your ass, and knowing without proof that you can pull something off. Make friends that you can discuss & grow with. It’s okay to change your mind. Pursue your curiosities whole-heartedly. Never ever discourage others’ work to confirm your own taste or value, instead simply do it by making great work.
