Creative ideas happen when you stop thinking about what others will think. - James Clear

Early feedback is usually better than late criticism. Delaying the conversation or stringing someone along with indirect feedback won't make them feel better once the real issue is finally addressed. Nobody likes getting bad news, but everyone appreciates clarity.

When you think you are too old to do something new remember you will never be younger than you are right now.

Move toward the next thing, not away from the last thing.

Same direction. Completely different energy.
