'How was your day?' is a question that matters a lot more than it seems.

Artists are people with a genius for finding a new answer, a new connection, or a new way of getting things done.

Give up control and give it away ... The more you give your idea away, the more your company is going to be worth.

Criticism comes to those who stand out.

Connect, create meaning, make a difference, matter, be missed.

If it were any other way, it would be easy. And if it were any other way, everyone would do it and your work would ultimately be devalued. The yin and yang are clear: without people pushing against your quest to do something worth talking about, it's unlikely it would be worth the journey. Persist.

A book is a souvenir of an idea.
