It's easy to be afraid of taking a plunge, because, after all, plunging is dangerous. And the fear is a safe way to do nothing at all. Wading, on the other hand, gets under the radar. It gives you a chance to begin.

Perfect can't possibly be the goal, we're left with generous, important and human instead.

The opportunity is not in being momentarily popular with the anonymous masses. It's in being missed when you're gone, in doing work that matters to the tribe you choose.

I think "creativity" is better described as failing repeatedly until you get something right.

Instead of focusing on arguing with people who say no, it might be easier to get near the people who like to say yes.

If you're not the best in the world at what you do, then you have to get better.
