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

Good ideas come from bad ideas, but only if there are enough of them.

But what if I fail? You will. A better question might be, ‘after I fail, what then?’ If you’ve chosen well, after you fail you will be one step closer to succeeding, you will be wiser and stronger and you almost certainly will be more respected by all of those that are afraid to try.

Real change comes from finding and embracing and connecting and amplifying those that are inclined to like you and believe in you. Ideas spread from person to person, not so much from you to them. So find your biggest fans and give them a story to tell.

If you're in the idea business, it doesn't matter where you're from. It matters if we care about the change you're making.

One way to work the system is to work the system. The other way is to refuse to work it.

The art, the new, the ability to connect the dots and to make an impact - sooner or later, that can only come from one who creates, not from a teacher and not from a book.
