Any great and inspiring leader or organization that ever existed set out to do something completely unrealistic.

Great leaders don't see themselves as great; they see themselves as human.

Only you can take responsibility for your happiness..but you can't do it alone. It's the great paradox of being human.

All the great organizations in the world, all have a sense of why that organization does what it does.

When my books came out, they started selling but they started selling at a relatively consistent but low pace. And they started to pick up the pace.

All the perks, all the benefits and advantages you may get for the rank or position you hold, they aren’t meant for you. They are meant for the role you fill. And when you leave your role, which eventually you will, they will give the ceramic cup to the person who replaces you. Because you only ever deserved a Styrofoam cup.

What good is it to have a belly if there's no fire in it? Wake up, drink your passion, light a match and get to work.
