To say that Windows 95 is just like the Mac is like finding a potato in the shape of Jesus and thinking you have witnessed the second coming
Guy Kawasaki
How fast you are moving is more important than where you are.
Guy Kawasaki
The two most important things about people on a revolutionary team are their ability and passion. Their educational level or work experience is meaningless--most of the engineers who did ground-breaking work of the Macintosh design didn't even graduate from college.

I'm a lousy predictor of the future.
Guy Kawasaki
People who earn the label creative are really just people who come up with more combinations of ideas, find interesting ones faster, and are willing to try them out. The problem is that most schools and organizations train us out of those habits.
Guy Kawasaki
Think different in order to change the rules. By definition, if you don't change the rules you aren't a revolutionary, and if you don't think different, you won't change the rules.

The mark of a good conversationalist is not that you can talk a lot. The mark is that you can get others to talk a lot. Thus, good schmoozer's are good listeners, not good talkers.

Guy Kawasaki
You need to earn the right to promote.
Guy Kawasaki
Every person has the ability to improve the life of someone else.

Luck favors the people who are willing to grind it out.

For me, while writing I am an engineer, so if I decide to change the format, I want to add a section, to move a section, reorganize the section, anything I want to do, I just boot words, and I do what I want to do. So, I feel completely empowered when I'm a writer.
Guy Kawasaki
I learned how difficult it is to self-publish a book. It's complex, it's confusing, it's idiosyncratic.
Guy Kawasaki
The root of great companies is make meaning vs. make money.
Guy Kawasaki
You need to save some mental, physical, and emotional resources for enhancing your product after you ship. A revolution is a triathlon, not a hundred-yard dash-it requires long distance stamina and multiple skills such as creating, churning, and evangelizing.
Guy Kawasaki
If you truly don't have competition, then zoom out until you can define some. Competition can be as simple as the reliance on the status quo, Microsoft (since at some point Microsoft will compete with everyone for everything), or researchers in universities. Pick something, because saying you have no competition at all is a nonstarter.
Guy Kawasaki
The best reason to start an organization is to make meaning to create a product or service to make the world a better place.
Guy Kawasaki
Ambitious failure, magnificent failure, is a very good thing.
Guy Kawasaki
Good people hire people better than themselves. So A players hire A+ players. But others hire below their skills to make themselves look good. So B players hire C players. C players hire D players, etc.
