Great leaders must have two things: a vision of the world that does not yet exist and the ability to communicate that vision clearly.

If our leaders are to enjoy the trappings of their position in the hierarchy, then we expect them to offer us protection. The problem is, for many of the overpaid leaders, we know that they took the money and perks and didn’t offer protection to their people. In some cases, they even sacrificed their people to protect or boost their own interests. This is what so viscerally offends us. We only accuse them of greed and excess when we feel they have violated the very definition of what it means to be a leader.

You are authentic when everything you say and everything you do you ACTUALLY believe.

What good is an idea if it remains an idea? Try. Experiment. Iterate. Fail. Try again. Change the world.

Don't give to get. Give to inspire others to give.

It's the discipline to understand that the things that might make you rich or things might make you famous are sometimes worth pursuing and sometimes are not.

We should never let reality interfere with our dreams. Reality can't see what we can see.
