The thing that makes this quote really punch out is that it has the weight of his whole life behind it. He believed it and live it. It wasn't just a throw-away comment.
I really like this quote. It's incredibly challenging, and it's awesome because when you put your money where your mouth is, it's a sign that you truly believe.
I guess my immediate reaction is one of reservation to the first point, 'earn all you can'. As a freelance designer, all the dangers spring to mind: 1. the temptation to over-charge clients. 2. working long hours, neglecting your wife 3. a lot of my design work is service to various churches. And in that you're starving one hand to feed the other.
Brilliant quote though.
