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
At the end of my life, I want to say that I made the world a better place because I raised good children, loved my wife, and empowered entrepreneurs. If I do these things, then I can rest knowing that I made the world a better place.

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.

Entrepreneurship is not for everyone.

Klout and various measurements of influence are fun. I love to see where I score on them, but there's a computer algorithm behind the calculation. If there's an algorithm, it can be gamed. Even if it's not gameable, you have to take a leap of faith that the number of followers, retweets, mentions, whatever really mean something.

Don’t be discouraged by the size of your network – inspire one person and you are doing good.
Guy Kawasaki
Writing is the starting point from which all goodness (and crappiness) flows.

Guy Kawasaki
The more popular a person thinks he is in the blogosphere, the thinner his skin and the thicker his hypocrisy. This should be exactly the opposite: the higher you go the thicker the skin and thinner the hypocrisy.
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
At the end of my life, is it better to say that I empowered people to make great stuff, or that I died with a net worth of $10 billion? Obviously I'm picking the former, although I would not mind both.
Guy Kawasaki
How fast you are moving is more important than where you are.
Guy Kawasaki
'Branding' has taken on too much of a role as a specialized craft performed by voodoo artists.
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
I don't need the rush to be happy. I'd be perfectly happy without the attention and action.
Guy Kawasaki
Create something, sell it, make it better, sell it some more and then create something that obsoletes what you used to make.
