I’m not a great fan of trite one-line insights and witticisms about life.

They only have relevance when they’re ready to have relevance. They seem to mean more to the person giving them than to anyone reading them. And you can pass over any one of them with an indignant ‘pfuh’, only to return to it years later and treat it like one of the ten commandments.

That said, Master Merlin Mann gave me a great one in this article:

“Spend less time fantasizing about ’success’ and way more time making really cool mistakes.”

I know, it’s been said in other ways before. But I really like Merlin’s work, and I really like this. A lot.
