Flexible in the face of change, resilient in the face of confusion. All of these attributes are choices, not talents, and all of them are available to you.

You can't have good ideas unless you're willing to generate a lot of bad ones.

Listen to your fear but don't obey it.

The resistance is not something to be avoided, it's something to seek out.

Excellence isn’t about working extra hard to do what you’re told. It’s about taking the initiative to do work you decide is worth doing.

If you have no wish, how can it possibly come true?

Stop trying to find the formula that will instantly make your idea into a winner. Instead of being scientists, the best marketers are artists. They realize that whatever is being sold is being purchased, because it creates an emotional want, not because it fills a simple need.
