When the legacy you leave behind lasts for hours, days or a lifetime, you matter.

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.

The best marketing strategy is to destroy your industry before your competition does.

Marketing isn't done by computers, it's done by people. And people who sense opportunity and have the confidence to be remarkable will always defeat defensive actions by people who have given up.

Dreams are difficult to build and easy to destroy.

The way I understand gifts is that the giver must make a sacrifice, create an uneven exchange, bring himself closer to the recipient, create change and do it all with the right spirit.

Without people pushing against your quest to do something worth talking about, it's unlikely to be worth the journey. Persist.
