Four good life lessons I learned at Pixar that I was thinking about this am:
1/4. Story is king. Don’t just give it lip service but mean it.
2/4: It’s ok to be wrong. Be wrong often and be willing to change your mind fast. You tell a lot of the wrong stories to get the right one.
3/4: Don’t hesitate to throw away work and re-do it, especially if it lets you tell a better story.
4/4: Kind people who collaborate on a team, with a clear leader, tell better stories than unkind mini-dictators who think they know it all.
you should be proud of yourself!
i mean look at you!
look at how far you’ve made it
you know why you’re still here?
because you’re strong
and you’re a good person
and you deserve to be here
you deserve to have good things and be happy!
never let anyone (especially not you) convince you otherwise
you’re here right now
and that’s great

Oh, Bruce. Come back and show me how to be you.
Hello my very beloved offspring,
Someday when you read this, I will be even more ancient than I am right now. Someday I hope very much to be a crotchety old lady who says wildly inappropriate things and embarrasses you by grabbing your father’s keister in the retirement community where we live. But for now, I’m only 40.
Everyone says turning 40 is a really big deal but I have not found that to be so. But upon this occasion (and just in case I drop dead tomorrow), I thought I’d tell you what my perspective on life is at this particular moment. Then when you turn 40 and start wondering “Why don’t I feel like a real grown-up yet?” you can read this and feel better. Because at least you will realize that your immaturity is in part hereditary. Sorry about that.
Great read! <3
