If you can't be remarkable, perhaps you should consider doing nothing until you can.

Everyone has failed, everyone has misspoken, everyone has meant well but done the wrong thing. Your favorite restaurants, cafes and books have all gotten a one-star review along the way. No brand is perfect, no individual can pretend to be either. Perfect can't possibly be the goal, we're left with generous, important and human instead.

If you're going to buy a real book, a paper book, there better be a good reason. Perhaps scarcity is one of those reasons.

Kickstarter isn't a profit center, it's an organizer and an instigator.

If you're not willing to face the abyss of choice, you will almost certainly not spend enough time dancing with opportunity.

Your success is no longer about your ability to do what you are told, and do it well.

The best favors are worth doing for the doing, not because we'll ever get paid back appropriately.
