When I finally got a management position, I found out how hard it is to lead and manage people.
Guy Kawasaki
'Branding' has taken on too much of a role as a specialized craft performed by voodoo artists.
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.

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
Happiness is temporary and fleeting. ... Joy is the right goal.
Guy Kawasaki

Guy Kawasaki
For me writing is as close to being an engineer as possible.
Guy Kawasaki
Pursue joy, not happiness. This is probably the hardest lesson of all to learn. It probably seems to you that the goal in life is to be happy. Oh, you maybe have to sacrifice and study and work hard, but, by and large, happiness should be predictable.
Guy Kawasaki
The beauty of Goodreads is that you know you’re sowing in a field where everyone, by definition and self-selection, loves to read.
Guy Kawasaki
The self-edited author is as foolish as the self-medicated patient.
Guy Kawasaki
Companies can add value and simultaneously promote themselves if their product or service truly improves the lives of their customers. I mean really improve lives, not wishful thinking, rationalization. That's the acid test.
Guy Kawasaki
Instant success are seldom instant and if you talk to the people behind these successes, you'll find out that they came after months of fear, uncertainty and confusion along with a flagrant lack of adoption.
Guy Kawasaki
Writing a book isn’t an easy process nor is it always enjoyable, but it is one of life’s most satisfying achievements.
Guy Kawasaki
When you enchant people, your goal is not to make money from them or to get them to do what you want, but to fill them with great delight.
