On Lighting
It’s not what you light that separates the men from the boys, it’s what you don’t light.

On Fear
Embrace fear. It keeps you from getting complacent.

On Listening to Ideas
Keep an open mind when it comes to accepting outside input.

On Time
Five minutes, if you’re clever, can be a very long time.

On Staying Humble
Treat others as you wish to be treated. Stay humble, it goes a long way.
