Competence is no longer scarce.

Go ahead, fail. Try to avoid mistakes, though.

When we intentionally seek out the difficult tasks, we're much more likely to actually create value.

It turns out that the people who like their jobs the most are also the ones who are doing the best work, making the greatest impact, and changing the most.

Make a decision. It doesn't have to be a wise decision or a perfect one. Just make one.

Now for the first time, you can choose yourself. You can be responsible for what you do and how you do it. You have to do the hard work of finding and pleasing an audience.

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.
