Without people pushing against your quest to do something worth talking about, it's unlikely to be worth the journey. Persist.

Just imagine how much you'd get done if you stopped actively sabotaging your own work.

Soon is not as good as now.

People watch what you do more than listen to what you say.

Yes, I think it's okay to abandon the big, established, stuck tribe. It's okay to say to them, "You're not going where I need to go, and there's no way I'm going to persuade all of you to follow me. So rather than standing here watching the opportunities fade away, I'm heading off. I'm betting some of you, the best of you, will follow me.

Trust is precious and easily wasted, and guessing is a lousy foundation for future progress.

In other words, If you don't take action, you won't get any results You are not your resume, you are your work
