First, care. Care intensely. Care about doing a good job. Care about not doing a bad job. Care about going the extra mile. Care even when nobody else seems to care. Care even when nobody else will notice. Care even when you don’t feel like caring. Care because you want to. Care because you need to. Care because you can’t not care. Care about making a dent in the universe. Care about making something new and exciting. Care about making something fun. Care about making something that scares you. Care about saying something. Care about making a difference. Care about seeing something no one else can see unless you show them. Care about making someone else care.
How to make something you can be proud of? Just care.
