If we can fall in love with serving people, creating value, solving problems, building valuable connections and doing work that matters, it makes it far more likely we're going to do important work

You can't fool all the people, not even most of the time. And people, once unfooled, talk about the experience.

In contemporary art or movies, it makes perfect sense to be focused on the bleeding edge, on the new idea that's never been previously contemplated. But when we're discussing our goals, our passion and the way we interact with the culture, it seems to me that what works is significantly more important than what's new.

The opportunity is not in being momentarily popular with the anonymous masses. It's in being missed when you're gone, in doing work that matters to the tribe you choose.

The cost of being wrong is less than the cost of doing nothing.

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

You don't have to settle. It's a choice you get to make every day.
