A lot of times, people send me emails, and then I forget about them, or I never respond to them, or I respond to them weeks later.

When people give you their stated reason for doing something always assume they are giving you a reason that sounds good, but not the real reason.

Only think about the people you enjoy. Only read the books you enjoy, that make you happy to be human. Only go to the events that actually make you laugh or fall in love. Only deal with the people who love you back, who are winners and want you to win too.

Arguing with people is like reading your e-mail at 4 in the morning. There is absolutely no good that can come of it. It's just scratching an itch.

The reality is: when you're slouched over, not only are you not using the full potential of your brain, but you look untrustworthy.

But business is just a vehicle for transforming the ideas in your head into something real, something tangible, that actually improves the lives of others. To create something unique and beautiful and valuable is very hard. It’s very special to do. It doesn’t happen fast.

I love being honest and intimate with people. I love building community. I love emailing with readers.
