The fastest way to earn a seat at the table is to host the meal.

There's just as much value in learning what NOT to do.

The task everyone hates is usually the one worth mastering.

There is no selfhood where there is no community.

The Fifth Industrial Revolution is not just about technology, but about integrating AI with creativity, ethics, sustainability, and quality of life

الثورة الصناعية الخامسة ليست عن التكنولوجيا وحدها، بل عن دمج الذكاء الاصطناعي مع الإبداع، والأخلاق، والاستدامة، وجودة الحياة

Effortless growth [is] never bound by time. It only ever happens in the present moment.

We must protest in art, in verse, in melody, in design, in rhyme -- and correctly use em dashes

Have you ever made something? Took a photo with a friend or cooked a meal you really liked or made up a song to your pet? If you make things, then you are an artist. End of discussion, babe.

Positive self-talk shapes the way you see yourself — and the world

غيّر لغة حديثك مع نفسك، يكون بلهجة ايجابيه ليس سلبيه

Whether we realize it or not, the beliefs that we feel about ourselves shape our everyday. They show up in our decision-making, in the opportunities that we see and the opportunities that we do not see.

Mentoring is about kindness. It’s about giving back. It’s about forming community. I think we could all use a little more kindness right now in this world. That's part of what draws me to mentorship and why I like to just in general help people.

Endurance is showing your kids that no matter your situation, no matter your struggles, no matter what you're going through, you can achieve anything.

الشغف يحرك الهواة، المسوؤلية تحرك المحترفون والفضول يحرك العباقرة.

amueter run by motivation and professionals run by discipline and geniuses run by curiosity

It terrifies me and it excites me. That's the conversation that has to be had. And this is the right community to have that conversation.

There's a general statement in business technology that says you you're not going to lose your job because of AI, but you're going to lose your job because there's other people that are going to use AI, right? And my theory is that's the same for artists, right?

I don't necessarily think artists are going to become obsolete, but I do think that if you stay on top of what can be possible, I think you're way ahead of the game. And I think it just makes you more dynamic and impactful in that way.

If you look at electric guitar, it’s just the electrification that technology adds a new sound. An acoustic guitar couldn't do it. So, it's technology augmented music and we all enjoy listening to rock music. So, why don't we see that AI may enable humans to do another level of creation that we were not able to do before?

I'm making a conscious decision about what I want to outsource because I already know how to do that thing. With my daughter, I'm thinking about it a little bit differently because she doesn't know how to do some of those things yet. So, if she automatically starts to outsource that, she'll never learn.

A lot of people here were using Texas Instruments( calculators) early on in middle school, high school. It's not like we're all illiterate in math, right? It's a tool. It depends on how we use it.

Your mind is like a muscle and if you don't use it, it just stops working. And this is one of the worries I do have about AI is that it's making things easy. One thing I've learned in life, there's no free lunch. You have to work and you have to work hard and that's how you get ahead.

I think it's important to point out that we're all going to have different opinions about AI, obviously, so there's not going to be one right opinion in this room. We're not looking to sort of land on what the answer is. We're looking to sort of jumpstart the conversation and hopefully keep the conversation going as a community.

We're really just hoping to have some meaningful conversations around the challenges that creative professionals are facing today. So, huge shout out to Adobe for being the driver behind this new innovative series.
