‘‘There is a lot to learn and understand from everybody and everything, in our youth and even in our old age. The key is not to believe everything we are told, and to always question and be observant. Above all, we must keep the child in us alive, and to look at things with playful eyes, laugh and never stop dreaming.’’

‘‘Start a business of your own. And start when you are young. That is a very big plus point: starting young. You have nothing to lose, no car loans, no mortgage, and you still don’t have many commitments. What’s the worst that can happen? If you fail, you can always work for somebody else. That thought gives me courage and it has worked for me.’’

READ MORE

‘‘Get out of the norm; the unexpected is more interesting. Get out of the box; creativity needs no chains. Get out of your designer clothes; design your own. Get out of the school curriculum; imagination requires no formula. Get out of the library; if it’s published, it isn’t original. Get off the Internet; the pen creates what the mouse can’t. Get out of the office; inspiration comes from life out there. Get out of the country; expand your vision, become a visionary. Now, get out of here!’’
