Here’s a list of words that I absolutely love. Some sound gunpowder-filled, while others are admirably mellow.

From all the Twitter bios that I’ve seen, I love Casey Neistat’s the most. With two words and a symbol, it says “family + work.” 

If we were to drop dead right now, we’d leave behind a lot of incomplete stuff. Most people would. What becomes of us after that?

Here’s a random lump of words on my thoughts about advertising.

1. PPTs are easy, brainwork is tough
2. Advertising ‘blinkers’ blind us to the world
3. Words and pictures are the simplest stimuli
4. Silence in briefings = thoughts brewing
5. Random talk can be is productive
6. You can hypothesize when you can’t strategize
7. Hunches drag us to better places  
8. Hyped is not equal to right
9. Let customers decide whether it matters
10. Whatever we consume becomes our fuel
11. Titles don’t define who can do what
12. Examples convince the toughest skeptics
13. Making anything lengthier doesn’t make it important
14. Ridiculous ideas paired with a ‘how’ stand a chance
15. First we do it, then we learn it
16. The FOMO is usually not worth it
17. We never feel adequate as we’re always ‘getting there’
18. Webinar lessons…evaporate fast
19. Timesheets are for losers
20. Some use work as a distraction from life

Finally, the world certainly doesn’t revolve around us. But it helps to be hungry and add our little contribution to the world…while finding some joy in it.
