There's no life-work balance. I think you have to have the discipline to have the life you want to have. And if you are stealing from one part of your life in order to make the other part work, you are going to pay for it.

Are you doing work worth doing, or are you just doing your job?

No organization ever created an innovation. People innovate, not companies.

If you're not willing to get your 'worst one ever' out of the way, how will you possibly do better than that?

The job isn't to catch up to the status quo; the job is to invent the status quo.

If you're not upsetting anyone, you're not changing the status quo.

Fitting in is a short-term strategy, standing out pays off in the long run.
