I try not to be too optimistic or pessimistic. If you're a pessimist then that's depressing all the time; if you're an optimist and things don't work out then that's depressing, too.

If you're out, and starving, and need a bite to eat, then you need fast food.

My mum always says work goes in waves: you have a good spell and then it dips.

Rut, routine, robotic. These are the three R's of adult-hood. Wake up, eat, go to work, eat, work more, come home, eat, sleep, and repeat every day until we all reach retirement, or death.

You're going to work out and try to maintain the strength you gain in the offseason, and then you work to gain after the season is over.

The worst thing you can do is animate something and then throw it out because it doesn't work story-wise.
