What was one piece of unforgettable early career advice that still guides you today?

- It's nice to be important, but it's more important to be nice. People remember the way you made them feel over everything else.
- To never give up - it's so easy to let rejections make you feel like what you're trying to do isn't going to work. But believing in yourself is always the best way to go :)
- I was once told that focusing on finding a solution instead of dwelling on the challenge will have a greater impact on my work and those around me.
- @Morphe Digital Design I need to say no to something I’ve been invited too - hope it’s as easy as you’re saying. Wish me luck!
- Someone told me a Flaubert quote. "Be regular and orderly in your life like a bourgeois, so that you may be violent and original in your [art]."
- Don't burn bridges, holding a grugde against someone is hindering you not the other person.
- self initiated work is more important than client work
- Never be too busy that you don't make money.
- Always say yes. The brief is always moving. Usually the tasks are loosely related to it, so there's always room to grow with each project.
- Be polite and correct (to everyone, not just the "boss"). It's a small world.I have lived in three countries and many cities, and still come across people I knew years ago in some other part of the world.That said, there will be times when limits have to be set, but even that can often be accomplished without entirely burning bridges.
