The competitive advantages the marketplace demands is someone more human, connected, and mature. Someone with passion and energy, capable of seeing things as they are and negotiating multiple priorities as she makes useful decisions without angst. Flexible in the face of change, resilient in the face of confusion. All of these attributes are choices, not talents, and all of them are available to you.

Anyone who says failure is not an option has also ruled out innovation.

Surprise comes from defying expectations.

Just start. Start now. Fail often. Enjoy the ride.

Please stop waiting for a map. We reward those who draw maps, not those who follow them.

It's possible that your next frontier isn't to get more efficient, it's to get more brave.
