“Short-term gains are only valuable if they don’t lead to long-term losses.” ~ Michael Schechter

Reminds me of this great tweet from John Roderick back in 2008 

“A big part of improving comes from setting ambitious yet achievable goals. We create long-term projects by coming up with a game plan and implementing a structure for achieving goals. Many of my own challenges come not from a lack of ambition, but from a lack of follow through.” ~ Michael Schechter

“Strive and fail often or don’t strive at all.” ~ Michael Schechter

“As long as I can remember, I’ve been infatuated with the creative process. The act of transforming some nebulous concept from my mind to something feels like magic and still amazes me every time it happens. Whenever I get in a rut, creating something pulls me out.” ~ David Sparks
