If your work can surprise you then you have started something worthwhile.

The thing that is exciting about any project or any book is that you have to push yourself, you have to push beyond what makes you comfortable.

I now cherish the ability to be surprised by things that come up unexpectedly, by beautiful things and new perspectives that emerge out of the blue, even in the most conventional and repetitive settings. The ability to be surprised surprises me.

I promised myself in life that I would not stop myself from being surprised and you never know what’s going to surprise you. Some things that seem dull turn out to be the most interesting things so I just open doors and say let’s do it!

Challenges make you discover things about yourself you never really knew. They are what make the instrument stretch what make you go beyond the norm

I am always astonishing myself. It is the only thing that makes life worth living.

Push yourself beyond when you think you are done with what you have to say. […] It is beyond the point when you think you are done that often something strong comes out.

Knowing that I can achieve more is what inspires me

Challenge yourself to think beyond the confines of the present. Be a dreamer. Push boundaries!

By defining your own measure of success, and by actively growing through your experiences, you’ll continually be shocked by how far you’ve come.

Always believe in yourself and always stretch yourself beyond your limits. Your life is worth a lot more than you think because you are capable of accomplishing more than you know. You have more potential than you think, but you will never know your full potential unless you keep challenging yourself and pushing beyond your own self imposed limits.

It is something that inspires you in different ways.

When you are inspired by some great purpose, some extraordinary project, all your thoughts break their bonds: Your mind transcends limitations, your consciousness expands in every direction, and you find yourself in a new, great, and wonderful world. Dormant forces, faculties and talents become alive, and you discover yourself to be a greater person by far than you ever dreamed yourself to be.

Surprise everyone. Change your work habits. Go the extra mile!
