Cliche Quote by Brad Feld

“When everyone starts sounding the same, that's when you know the words and phrases have become clichés. Instead of speaking in clichés, I encourage people just to be themselves, let their passion burn brightly, and go work on things they love spending their time on.” quote by Brad Feld — Download Open image
