It is amazing that I became President of the United States with such a totally corrupt and dishonest Lamestream Media going after me all day, and all night. Either I’m really good, far better than the Fake News wants to admit, or they don’t have nearly the power as once thought!

Some of the best designers I’ve worked w/ had 0-2 yrs of experience. They’re curious. They question old patterns. They break rules. They’re open to trying new ideas. They’re hungry to learn. They quickly get better over time. They’re flexible. Don’t just hire Sr Designers.

In 1989, a Philadelphia man bought an old painting at a flea market for $4. After investigating a weird tear in the canvas, he discovered it was hiding one of the first copies of the original Declaration of Independence from 1776. He then sold it for $8.4 million.
