Leadership is the art of giving people a platform for spreading ideas that work.

Great work is always shunned at first.

'How was your day?' is a question that matters a lot more than it seems.

It's more important that you be passionate about what you do all day than it is to be passionate about the product that is being sold.

Art...is the intentional act of using your humanity to create a change in another person...Passion is caring enough about your art that you will do almost anything to give it away, to make it a gift, to change people.

I'll confess that I don't watch the Olympics, but you'd have to be living under a rock to be unaware of the corruption and the expense. An amorphous organization with no transparency, unclear lines of responsibility, huge amounts of politics and a great deal of unearned power.

We've greatly exaggerated the risk of sinking, without celebrating the value of swimming.
