Five Rules for new Grads, and the rest of Us

#1. Don't think about your future, especially right now.

#2. Don't buy Furniture, or anything else you'll regret.

#3. Don't let yourself be intimidated by professionals or their uniforms.

#4: If you're going to fail, fail big. If you don't, you're never going to make a difference. Creativity is allowing yourself to make mistakes. Art is knowing which ones to keep.

#5: Don't overuse the word "love."
