Desire can't be sated, because if it is, the longing disappears and then we've failed, because desire is the state we seek.

If your organization requires success before commitment, it will never have either.

But what if I fail? You will. A better question might be, ‘after I fail, what then?’ If you’ve chosen well, after you fail you will be one step closer to succeeding, you will be wiser and stronger and you almost certainly will be more respected by all of those that are afraid to try.

A symptom of the revolution: When we state something is impossible in theory, but then change our minds when we discover that it is possible in practice.

The only long-term motivation is self motivation. So hire people who are self motivated and get out of their way.

The first thing you do when you sit down at the computer: If you're an artist, a leader or someone seeking to make a difference, the first thing you do should be to lay tracks to accomplish your goals, not to hear how others have reacted/ responded/ insisted to what happened yesterday.

Winners quit all the time. They just quit the right stuff at the right time.
