Don’t be afraid to be scared

• Being a little scared means you’ll want to do the best that you can

• If you share an idea that makes everybody gasp and shudder, then figure out why it made them freak out
• If you never test the limits, then you’ll never find out

Leave your ego at the door
• Feed off the talent from people around you
• You’ll be better off working with these people on your side than fighting them
