My mother-in-law is obsessed with clowns.

Sometimes we spend more time than we should defending the old thing, instead of working to take advantage of the new thing.

You don't launch a popular blog, you build one. The writing isn't the hard part, it's the commitment.

Choose your customers. Fire the ones that hurt your ability to deliver the right story to the others.

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

And yet the real success goes to those who obsess. The focus that leads you through the Dip to the other side is rewarded by a marketplace in search of the best in the world. A woodpecker can tap twenty times on a thousand trees and get nowhere, but stay busy. Or he can tap twenty-thousand times on one tree and get dinner.

The only real help is self-help. Anything else is just designed to get you to the point where you can help yourself.
