Guy Kawasaki
The Future belongs to those who can spread ideas.
Guy Kawasaki
Patience is the art of concealing your impatience.

Enchantment can be done with writing but I think enchantment is basically a prospective or an operating system for life. That you can enchant a person who is assigning your airplane seat, your hotel room, your waiter, your waitress.
Guy Kawasaki
Entitlement is the opposite of enchantment.

Look back to the old days: people bought an MS DOS machine and struggled with it for weeks to bring it up to speed. Then Apple created Macintosh, struggled a bit with it, but eventually succeeded. Then it went into other businesses. If your company truly wants to change the world, it would make these problems go away for customers.

Guy Kawasaki

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.
Guy Kawasaki
Do not write to impress others. Authors who write to impress people have difficulty remaining true to themselves. A better path is to write what pleases you and pray that there are others like you. Your first and most important reader is you. If you write a book that pleases you, at least you know one person will like it.
Guy Kawasaki
People are free or cheap. Marketing: using Twitter or blogs. Cheap or free. Infrastructure: call up Amazon, call up Rackspace, terabytes of data in the clouds, thousand dollars, two thousand dollars.
Guy Kawasaki
Just be nice, take genuine interest in the people you meet, and keep in touch with people you like. This will create a group of people who are invested in helping you because they know you and appreciate you.
Guy Kawasaki
I want to know which idea you're going to kill yourself trying to make successful, not which ideas have crossed your idle mind.
Guy Kawasaki
When I finally got a management position, I found out how hard it is to lead and manage people.
Guy Kawasaki
How fast you are moving is more important than where you are.
