The internet was supposed to homogenize everyone by connecting us all. Instead what it's allowed is silos of interest.

Most people with a big idea, great talent and/or something to say don't get lucky at first. Or second. Or even third. It's so easy to conclude that if you're not lucky, you're not good. So persistence becomes an essential element of good, because without persistence, you never get a chance to get lucky.

Selling to people who actually want to hear from you is more effective than interrupting strangers who don't.

There's nothing wrong with having a plan. Plans are great. But missions are better. Missions survive when plans fail, and plans almost always fail.

You dont need to convince everyone. All you need to do is motivate people who choose to follow you.

Persistent people are able to visualize the idea of light at the end of the tunnel when others can't see it

We long to connect, all of us. We long to be noticed, to be cared for, to matter. Generosity is the invisible salve on our wound of loneliness, one that benefits both sides, over and over again.
