from Chapter 4, “Take Yourself Too Seriously” of Eugene Chadbourne’s I Hate the Man Who Runs This Bar! (pg. 49, MixBooks, 1997):

The alternate title to this chapter was “Don’t Take Yourself Too Seriously.”  Either bit of advice could be of great help in a music career.  Is this a contradiction?  Yes. Is that a problem?  Only if you fail to understand the basic rule of creativity, which is my “No Consistency Rule,” also known as the “No Answer Is Correct” approach.  It is the *only* approach because different people can offer contradicting advice for the same situation.  Anything can work for anybody.  You never know what it will take. This rule gives you the option to completely ignore, or do the opposite of, anything anyone advises you to do.

This might just as well apply to life in general.
