Words to live by

Happy New Year!

I cherry-picked several of these that relate to what we do, from a longer list of life advice. Let these ideas inspire you to make 2026 a good year for yourself and your team. 

• Admitting “I don’t know” at least once a day will make you a better person. 

• Define yourself by what you love and embrace, rather than what you hate and refuse.

• Don’t fear failure. Fear average.

• Write your own obituary, the one you’d like to have, then every day work towards making it true. 

• If you’re out of ideas, go for a walk. A good walk empties the mind and then refills it with new stuff. 

• When you try something new, don’t think of it as a matter of success/failure, but as success / learning to succeed. 

• To tell a good story, you must reveal a surprise, otherwise it’s just a report. 

• You’ll never meet a very successful pessimistic person. If you want to be successful, get better at being optimistic. 

• Get good at being corrected without being offended. 

• There’s no formula for success, but there are two for failure: not trying and not persisting. 

Keep showing up!
