More quotes by Daniel H. Pink
Today it’s economically crucial and personally rewarding to create something that is also beautiful, whimsical, or emotionally engaging.
Daniel H. Pink
Typically, if you reward something, you get more of it. You punish something, you get less of it. And our businesses have been built for the last 150 years very much on that kind of motivational scheme.

Carry a notebook and write down examples of good and poor design. After a week, you'll begin to realize that nearly everything is the product of a design decision.

But in the end, mastery involves working and working and showing little improvement, perhaps with a few moments of flow pulling you along, then making a little progress, and then working and working on that new, slightly higher plateau again. It's grueling, to be sure. But that's not the problem that's the solution.

Daniel H. Pink
Empathy is about standing in someone else's shoes, feeling with his or her heart, seeing with his or her eyes. Not only is empathy hard to outsource and automate, but it makes the world a better place.
Daniel H. Pink
If you understand the independent worker, the self-employed professional, the freelancer, the e-lancer, the temp, you understand how work and business in the U.S. operate today.
Daniel H. Pink
All of us want to be part of something bigger than ourselves, something that matters.
Daniel H. Pink
Asking Why? can lead to understanding. Asking Why not? can lead to breakthroughs.
Daniel H. Pink
The future belongs to a different kind of person with a different kind of mind: artists, inventors, storytellers-creative and holistic 'right-brain' thinkers whose abilities mark the fault line between who gets ahead and who doesn't.
Daniel H. Pink
Greatness and nearsightedness are incompatible. Meaningful achievement depends on lifting one's sights and pushing toward the horizon.
Daniel H. Pink
The right brain is finally being taken seriously.
Daniel H. Pink
Mad magazine is like one of my few formative experiences, absolutely. Mad magazine teaches a whole generation of people to be irreverent toward power.
Daniel H. Pink
Do what you can't and experience the beauty of the mistakes you make.
Daniel H. Pink
I happen to be extremely left-brained my instinct is to draw a chart rather than a picture. I'm trying to get my right-brain muscles into shape. I actually think this shift toward right-brain abilities has the potential to make us both better off and better in a deeper sense.
