"You're a dope if you don't steal from everybody you have ever worked with."

- Tom Hanks, during his Cecil B. DeMille Award acceptance speech at the 77th Annual Golden Globe Awards.

Learn from others, always.

Because life's too short to make all of the mistakes yourself.

P.S. Hanks' entire speech is filled with great advice for not just actors but for all of us. The "Steal bit" happens at 1:45, but you can watch all of it below. If you choose not to watch the video, though, it's important you know that Hanks wasn't chiding you for not becoming a criminal or physically taking things from your colleagues. But seriously, watch the video.
