One reason I encourage people to blog is that the act of doing it stretches your available vocabulary and hones a new voice.

I wonder if real art comes when you build the thing that they don't have a prize for yet.

People who make a difference never wait for just the right time. They know that it will never arrive.

If your organization requires success before commitment, it will never have either.

The sound of a small bell during a dark night, is louder than the din of traffic outside your window during rush hour. Surprise and differentiation have far more impact than noise does.

So much easier to aim for the smallest possible audience, not the largest, to build long-term value among a trusted, delighted tribe, to create work that matters and stands the test of time.
