Remember to be awesome.

Each and every one of us is a leader. Some of us just don't know it yet.

Remember to be awesome.

You get one life. And if you make the mistake of choosing a profession that doesn't enrich anybody but you, you wont even live that one

It's probably your fiercest critics - not your compatriots - who have the sharpest, most resonant insights.

Let’s summarize. What is awesomeness? Awesomeness happens when thick — real, meaningful — value is created by people who love what they do, added to insanely great stuff, and multiplied by communities who are delighted and inspired because they are authentically better off. That’s a better kind of innovation, built for 21st century economics.

We're richer, but that wealth doesn't reflect durable, authentic economic value - which is hitting fast diminishing returns. The growth that we're pursuing is neither sustainable - nor is it, in many ways, real growth at all. Boardrooms from finance to autos to energy to pharma to fashion have learned that the hard way.
