Words of Wisdom for all creatives

Words are powerful. They have power to create a tectonic shift inside you. Here are a few words that transformed me over a period.  

About Design

About Problem Solving

If I had an hour to solve a problem I’d spend 55 minutes thinking about the problem and five minutes thinking about solutions. - Albert Einstein

About Courage

Courage is not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear. -Nelson Mandela

About Action

About Practice
