The way to work with a bully is to take the ball and go home. First time, every time. When there's no ball, there's no game. Bullies hate that. So they'll either behave so they can play with you or they'll go bully someone else.

More quotes by Seth Godin
You're competing against people in a state of flow, people who are truly committed, people who care deeply about the outcome. You can't merely wing it and expect to keep up with them. Setting aside all the safety valves and pleasant distractions is the first way to send yourself the message that you're playing for keeps
Seth Godin
People are not afraid of failure, they're afraid of blame.
Seth Godin
The only path to amazing runs directly through not-yet-amazing . But not-yet-amazing is a great place to start, because that's where you are. For now.
Seth Godin
Say what you believe and see who follows.

The instinct to produce great work doesn't require a fancy notebook.

The goal, then, isn't to draw some positioning charts and announce that you have differentiated your product. No, the opportunity is to actually create something that people choose to talk about, regardless of what the competition is doing.

Courage doesn't always involve physical heroism in the face of death. It doesn't always require giant leaps worthy of celebration. Sometimes, courage is the willingness to speak the truth about what you see and to own what you say.
Seth Godin
Marketing isn't done by computers, it's done by people. And people who sense opportunity and have the confidence to be remarkable will always defeat defensive actions by people who have given up.

Art isn't only a painting. Art is anything that's creative, passionate, and personal. And great art resonates with the viewer, not only with the creator... Art is a personal gift that changes the recipient. The medium doesn't matter. The intent does. Art is a personal act of courage, something one human does that creates change in another.
Seth Godin
Great work is the result of seeking out tension, not avoiding it.
Seth Godin
The ladder of success isn't a ladder. It's a series of steps with leaps interspersed along the way.
Seth Godin
A bully is playing a game, one that he or she enjoys and needs. You're welcome to play this game if it makes you happy, but for most people, it will make you miserable.
Seth Godin
If you've got the platform and the ability to make a difference, then this goes beyond 'should' and reaches the level of 'must.' You must make a difference or you squander the opportunity. Wasting the opportunity both degrades your own ability to contribute and, more urgently, takes something away from the rest of us.

Now, before sliced bread was invented in the 1910s I wonder what they said? Like the greatest invention since the telegraph or something. But... the thing about the invention of sliced bread is this - that for the first 15 years after sliced bread was available no one bought it no one knew about it it was a complete and total failure.

Black Friday is a media trap, an orchestrated mass hallucination based on herd dynamics and the media cycle.
Seth Godin
The only reason to buy a paper book any longer is to own it and cherish it and remember it and tell a story about it.

My problem with the search for the badge of real is that it trades your goals and your happiness for someone else's.
Seth Godin
Practice works because practice gives us a chance to relax enough to make smart choices.

The cost of being wrong is less than the cost of doing nothing.
