What I learned: Shun nonbelievers. Ignore critics. Do your best for people who want to dance with you.

Organizations that destroy the status quo win. Whatever the status quo is, changing it gives you the opportunity to be remarkable.

You don't have to settle for the status quo, for being good enough, for getting by, for working all night.

People rarely buy what they need. They buy what they want.

Discomfort brings engagement and change. Discomfort means you're doing something that others were unlikely to do, because they're hiding out in the comfortable zone. When your uncomfortable actions lead to success, the organization rewards you and brings you back for more.

Don’t be different just to be different. Be different to be better.

Surprise and delight and connection are remarkable.
