The business world worships mediocrity. Officially we revere free enterprise, initiative and individuality. Unofficially we fear it.

In any creative industry, the fact that others are moving in a certain direction is always proof positive, at least to me, that a new direction is the only direction.

Follow your bliss. That which you love you must spend your life doing, as passionately and as perfectly as your heart, mind and instincts allow.

Working hard and doing doing great work is as imperative as breathing. Creating great work warms the heart and enriches the soul. Those of us lucky enough to spend our days doing something we love, something we're good at, are rich. If you do not work passionately (even furiously) at being the best in the world at what you do, you fail your talent, your destiny, and your god.

A cautious creative is an oxymoron.

Only with absolute fearlessness can we slay the dragons of mediocrity that invade our gardens.

If you think people are dumb, you'll spend a lifetime doing dumb work.
