Incrementalism ceases to be a good strategy when there's a cliff on the route.

When we intentionally seek out the difficult tasks, we're much more likely to actually create value.

I've never once met a successful blogger who questioned the personal value of what she did.

By all means, fire the customers who aren't worth the time and the trouble. But understand that the moment you insist the customer is wrong, you've just started the firing process.

When you set down the path to create art, whatever sort of art it is, understand that the path is neither short not easy. That means you must determine if the route is worth the effort. If it's not, dream bigger.

Transformation al leaders don't start by denying the world around them. Instead, they describe a future they'd like to create instead.

The art, the new, the ability to connect the dots and to make an impact - sooner or later, that can only come from one who creates, not from a teacher and not from a book.
