Leaders who set out to give are more productive than leaders who seek to get.

All great programmers learn the same way. They poke the box. They code something and see what the computer does. They change it and see what the computer does. They repeat the process again and again until they figure out how the box works.

Instead of focusing on arguing with people who say no, it might be easier to get near the people who like to say yes.

I think "creativity" is better described as failing repeatedly until you get something right.

Great projects, like great careers and relationships that last, are gardens. They are tended, they shift, they grow. They endure over time, gaining a personality and reflecting their environment. When something dies or fades away, we prune, replant and grow again.

Leaders have followers, managers have employees. Managers make widgets, leaders make change.

The rest of the world isn't nearly as important as the few who are here.
