Faced with the opportunity to become the category of one, we almost always hesitate, almost always compromise, almost always dumb it down to play it a little bit safer

Be relentlessly generous, without focusing on when it will come back to you.

My best advice: win little battles. Get in the habit of winning, of shipping, of having customers that can't live without you. Once you've demonstrated you know how to do the art, then go after the windmills.

Remarkable visions and genuine insights are always met with resistance.

Perhaps your challenge isn't finding a better project or a better boss. Perhaps you need to get in touch with what it means to feel passionate. People with passion look for ways to make things happen.

If the game is designed for you to lose, don't play that game. Play a different one.

Loving what you do is almost as important as doing what you love, especially if you need to make a living at it.
