The only thing worse than starting something and failing... is not starting something.

If you work in an urgent-only culture, the only solution is to make the right things urgent.

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

Anyone who says failure is not an option has also ruled out innovation.

When you think about Uber and Airbnb and the other companies that are turning things upside down, Uber isn't big 'cause they ran a lot of ads. They're big because someone took out their iPhone and said to their friend, watch this, and pressed a button and a car pulled up.

You have brilliance in you, your contribution is valuable, and the art you create is precious. Only you can do, and you must.

The reason you might choose to embrace the artist within you now is that this is the path to (cue the ironic music) security.
