On the one hand you take life too seriously, and on the other, you do not take playful existence seriously enough.

More than ever, we express ourselves with what we buy and how we use what we buy. Extensions of our personality, totems of our selves, reminders of who we are or would like to be. Great marketers don't make stuff. They make meaning.

We've been trained to prefer being right to learning something, to prefer passing the test to making a difference, and most of all to prefer fitting in with the right people

Alas, there isn't a pain-free way to achieve your goals.

We've discovered that the earth isn't flat; that we won't fall off its edges, and our experience as a species has changed as a result. Maybe we'll soon find out that the self isn't "flat" either, and that death is as real and yet as deceptive as the horizon; that we don't fall out of life either.

As an organization grows and succeeds, it sows the seeds of its own demise by getting boring.

The present is the point of power.
