.@danawhite says one of the keys to longevity is to block out all negativity:

“There's this Bruce Lee quote where he says, ‘Never say negative things about yourself or what you're working on even if you're joking, because your body doesn't know the difference.’”

“I never take in any negativity.

“It never even crosses my mind that something's not going to work. I just keep going until it does work.”

Steal what resonates, inspires or fuels your imagination. Devour old/new movies, music, books, paintings, photos, poems, dreams, random conversations. Select only what speaks to your soul. Then work (& theft) will be authentic - Jim Jarmusch in Stealing like an Artist

“They think I’m simple-minded because I seem to be happy. Why shouldn’t I be happy? I have everything I ever wanted and more.

Maybe I am simple-minded. Maybe that’s the key: simple.”

Dieter Rams believed that good design isn’t about adding more. It’s about knowing what to remove.

What I like most about his work is that simplicity never feels empty. Everything that remains has a reason to be there.

Less, but better!

The older I get, the more I realize the power of emotional consistency. The ability to show up as the same person when you’re tired, stressed, or under pressure. Anyone can shine when life is smooth. It’s rare to remain steady even when the day gives you every reason not to.

“Success can only be achieved through repeated failure. In fact, success represents one percent of your work which results only from the ninety-nine percent that is called failure. I believe your final success can only be achieved if you face challenges with this kind of pioneer spirit.”

— Soichiro Honda. One of James Dyson’s heroes

“Failure is so much more interesting than success.

And it always saddens me that school doesn't teach that.

At school the thing is to be brilliant and to get the answer right first time. And there are brilliant people who could do that, but for the rest of us who are not brilliant, we have to strive, and we have to go through failure.

And we realize that you don't get it right the first time or the second time. In my case and I counted it. It took 5,127 times.

With failure you question it “Well why did it go wrong?” And actually the reason it goes wrong is often very, very interesting.

Where something works you say “Great that worked.” You don't even stop to wonder why it works.

So if you've got to enjoy failure.”

—James Dyson
