Sign your work...If you're not proud of it, don't ship it. If you are, sign your work and own the results. We'll know who to thank. If you work for a place where work goes unsigned (internally, in particular) it's worth asking why.

The good news is that more than ever, value accrues to those that show up, those that make a difference, those that do work that matters.

It's uncomfortable to challenge the status quo.

Fear is the dream killer, the silent voice that pushes us to lose our passion in a vain attempt to seek safety.

Every day I meet people who have so much to give but have been...frighten ed enough to hold it back. It's time to stop complying with the system and draw your own map. You have brilliance in you, your contribution is essential, and the art you create is precious. Only you can do it, and you must.

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.

I made a decision to write for my readers, not to try to find more readers for my writing.
