Why would you pour a foundation, buy machines, hire employees, if you can make as much money buying bonds?

I fell in love with skateboarding because it was individual; there were no teams, there were no captains, there was nothing to perfect. No style that had to be measured. It was completely opposite of what I saw in so many sports. It was creative. And to this day, that's what I love, that's always kept me back to it because it's endless creation.
Don't let anything poison your individuality. Break away & look in, not outward.
The biggest obstacle to creativity is breaking through the barrier of disbelief.
Skateboarding is as much, or more, an art of mode of expression than it is a sport. What skateboarding has given me is precisely that: a form of expression that drew me to it, and, in so doing, I was able to express and be who I wanted to be through it, in a sense.
Do what you love and try not to look at what other people occupy themselves with.
Everyone does things for love.
I still listen to black metal all the time - that's obviously one of my favorite kinds of music - but I steer from it very strongly.
