Make Mistakes!

“I hope that in this year to come, you make mistakes. Because if you are making mistakes, then you are making new things, trying new things, learning, living, pushing yourself, changing yourself, changing your world. You're doing things you've never done before, and more importantly, you're doing something. So that's my wish for you, and all of us, and my wish for myself. Make new mistakes. Make g...lorious, amazing mistakes. Make mistakes nobody's ever made before. Don't freeze, don't stop, don't worry that it isn't good enough, or it isn't perfect, whatever it is: art, or love, or work or family or life. Whatever it is you're scared of doing, do it. Make your mistakes, next year and forever.”

Neil Gaiman (born 1960); Author

Think for yourself

“The most courageous act is still to think for yourself. Aloud. ”

Gabrielle "Coco" Chanel (1883-1971); French fashion designer

Be an Original

“An original life is unexplored territory. You don't get there by taking a taxi- you get there by carrying a canoe.“

Alan Alda (born 1936); actor, director, screenwriter
