“I go with the flow but I write against it.”

“I believe in going with the flow. I don't believe in fighting against the flow. You ride on your river and you go with the tides and the flow. But it has to be your river, not someone else's. Everyone has their own river, and you don't need to swim,float,sail on their's, but you need to be in your own river and you need to go with it. And I don't believe in fighting the wind. You go and you fly with your wind. Let everyone else catch their own gusts of wind and let them fly with their own gusts of wind, and you go and you fly with yours.”

“I think people who create and write, it actually does flow – just flows from into their head, into their hand, and they right it down. It’s simple.”

“Some people will just go with the flow of things and sway in life, while others will fight against the currents and go upstream to reach their destiny.”

“Write against patterns. Go against the devils. Write what you never write. Lie. Validate what you don’t validate. Indulge what you don’t like. Wallow in it. Write the opposite of what you always write, think, speak. Do everything against the grain!”

“I write down the three measurements which Lou and I agreed are central to knowing if the company is making money: net profit, ROI and cash flow.”
