Someone can always do your job a little better or faster or cheaper than you can.

It always feels too soon to leap. But you have to. Because that's the moment between you and remarkable.

Great leaders don't try to please everyone. Great leaders don't water down their message in order to make the tribe a bit bigger. Instead, they realize that a motivated, connected tribe in the midst of a movement is far more powerful than a larger group could ever be.

You can't control other people, and giving them the power to decide if you will continue to produce good work is foolish.

Deadlines have a lousy name. Call them live-lines instead. That´t what they are.

I'll confess that I don't watch the Olympics, but you'd have to be living under a rock to be unaware of the corruption and the expense. An amorphous organization with no transparency, unclear lines of responsibility, huge amounts of politics and a great deal of unearned power.

Art is never defect-free. Things that are remarkable never meet spec, because that would make them standardized, not worth talking about.
