Quotes
The only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking. Don't settle. As with all matters of the heart, you'll know when you find it. And, like any great relationship, it just gets better and better as the years roll on. So keep looking until you find it. Don't settle.
I'm excited about the future, and I'm excited about what we can do together.
The key to life is accepting challenges. Once someone stops doing this, he's dead.
