YOU KNOW WHAT’S FUNNY ABOUT SAFETY?
THERE IS NOTHING FUNNY ABOUT SAFETY!
PHYSICAL and EMOTIONAL safety.
This is an inclusive space where EVERYONE is welcome.
You decide your intent, but you do not control your effect.
Measure twice, cut once. Focus. Think it through. Error on the side of caution.

Fire extinguisher.

Take control. Don’t sit around and wait for something to happen. Take initiative and make it happen yourself!
DO. MAKE. BREAK.
Do what? Make something. Make anything. It doesn’t have to be perfect on the first try. The process is more important than product, especially at the beginning.
DO. MAKE. BREAK.
After you make it, push your creation to the limit and find out how to make it better.
DO. MAKE. BREAK.
FAIL
FAST.
FAIL
OFTEN.

AN ENTREPRENEUR DISCUSSES THEIR FAILURES:
“The very first company I started failed with a great bang.
The second one failed a little bit less, but still failed.
The third on, you know, proper failed, but it was kind of okay. I recovered quickly.
Number four almost didn’t fail. It still didn’t really feel great, but it did okay.
Number five was PayPal.”
-Max Levchin, PayPal Co-Founder
Net worth: $300 Million
FAIL FAST. FAIL OFTEN.
If you’re not failing, you’re not trying.
If you do nothing, you’re guaranteed that nothing will happen.
Making mistakes is better than procrastinating or getting caught-up in picky details.
