As I have told you before, in a manner of speaking you are given the gifts of gods. Your beliefs become reality. What you believe is, and becomes real in your experience. There is no area in your life to which this does not apply.

If your team is filled with people who work for the company, you'll soon be defeated by tribes of people who work for a cause.

The goal isn't to do work and hand it in just before it's due. The goal is to do the work as beautifully as you can, faster than anyone else, so you can do more work.

It takes a lot of guts to stop measuring things that are measurable, and even more guts to create things that don't measure well by conventional means.

Don't worry about your stuff. Worry about making meaning instead.

The linchpin is an individual who can walk into chaos and create order, someone who can invent, connect, create, and make things happen. Every worthwhile institution has indispensable people who make differences like these.

Extraordinary benefits accrue to the tiny minority of people who are able to push just a tiny bit longer than most.
