Positive thinking doesn't guarantee results, all it offers is something better than negative thinking.

Your biggest failure is the thing you dreamed of contributing but didn't find the guts to do.

I think if your goal is for everything to be okay, that's a mistake. To achieve that goal, the only obstacle you'd have to face tomorrow is to eliminate all risk ... I've made the decision that I'm never trying to make everything okay. I'm trying for there to be more loose ends, not fewer loose ends.

I don't think we have any choice. I think we have an obligation to change the rules, to raise the bar, to play a different game, and to play it better than anyone has any right to believe is possible.

Your generosity is more important than your perfection.

By being remarkable, being genuine, you can be worth connecting with. And you don't have to have it figured out perfectly the first time - you can adjust.

The question isn’t whether or not you should wait to be picked, the question is whether you care enough to pick yourself.
