Favorite quote?

“It’s about the work. Because if you’re worrying about yourself – if you’re thinking: ‘Am I succeeding? Am I in the right position? Am I being appreciated? – then you’re going to end up feeling frustrated and stuck. But if you can keep it about the work, you’ll always have a path. There’s always something to be done.”  -Barack Obama

Early riser or night owl? When I’m hitting my stride, both! However, I’m naturally a night owl.
