Be bold, make mistakes, learn a lesson, and fix what doesn't work.

Excellence isn’t about working extra hard to do what you’re told. It’s about taking the initiative to do work you decide is worth doing.

Competition validates you. It creates a category. It permits the sale to be this or that, not yes or no.

If you have no wish, how can it possibly come true?

You don't have enough time to be both unhappy & mediocre. It's not just pointless; it's painful.

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

When in doubt, tell yourself the truth.
