Anyone who stops learning is old, whether at twenty or eighty. Anyone who keeps learning stays young. The greatest thing in life is to keep your mind young.
If you aren't making any mistakes, you aren't innovating. If you're making the same mistakes, you aren't learning.
A teacher can never truly teach unless he is still learning himself. A lamp can never light another lamp unless it continues to burn its own flame. The teacher who has come to the end of his subject, who has no living traffic with his knowledge but merely repeats his lesson to his students, can only load their minds, he cannot quicken them.
Practice isn't the thing you do once you're good. It's the thing you do that makes you good.
I think that's the single best piece of advice: constantly think about how you could be doing things better and questioning yourself.
To improve is to change, so to be perfect is to have changed often.
It is the excitement of becoming - always becoming, trying, probing, falling, resting, and trying again- but always trying and always gaining
If you aren't learning, you are regressing, because more growth comes from failure than from success.
Formal education will make you a living; self-education will make you a fortune. A successful business owner never stops learning. They educate themselves on the things they need to learn, and they never stop growing. They never arrive at a certain point and think, ahhh... now I don't need to learn anymore.
In my whole life, I have known no wise people who didn't read all the time - none ... ZERO.

I think it's very important to have a feedback loop, where you're constantly thinking about what you've done and how you could be doing it better. I think that's the single best piece of advice: constantly think about how you could be doing things better and questioning yourself.
You need the willingness to fail all the time.
There's always room for improvement. I incorporate the lessons I learned from my mistakes and move forward.
The only way to win is to learn faster than anyone else.
Success does not consist in never making mistakes but in never making the same one a second time.
I constantly see people rise in life who are not the smartest - sometimes not even the most diligent. But they are learning machines; they go to bed every night a little wiser than when they got up. And, boy, does that habit help, particularly when you have a long run ahead of you.
Constantly seek criticism. A well thought out critique of what you're doing is as valuable as gold
I feel it's my job to continue being a student of music if I want to continue being an artist and a producer of other artists. You have to keep filling your mind with other music. You have to be ahead of the curve.
I'm always asked, 'What's the secret to success?' But there are no secrets. Be humble. Be hungry. And always be the hardest worker in the room.
We're never satisfied with where we are as players.
The more you know yourself, the more clarity there is. Self-knowledge has no end - you don't come to an achievement, you don't come to a conclusion. It is an endless river.
Excellence is the gradual result of always striving to do better.
Practice the philosophy of continuous improvement. Get a little bit better every single day.
Read 500 pages every day. That's how knowledge works. It builds up like compound interest.
