Guy Kawasaki
Happiness is temporary and fleeting. ... Joy is the right goal.
Guy Kawasaki
Writing a book is as different from digital curation as night and day. Digital curation is a series of split-second decisions: good/no good. It can even be done algorithmically. Writing is process-intensive activity.
Guy Kawasaki
Don’t be discouraged by the size of your network – inspire one person and you are doing good.
Guy Kawasaki
