Quote

All great programmers learn the same way. They poke the box. They code something and see what the computer does. They change it and see what the computer does. They repeat the process again and again until they figure out how the box works.

Blaming the system is soothing because it lets you off the hook. But when the system is broken, we wonder why you were relying in the system in the first place.

Finding new ways, more clever ways to interrupt people doesn't work.

Content marketing is the only marketing left
Seth Godin
Image
Great projects, like great careers and relationships that last, are gardens. They are tended, they shift, they grow. They endure over time, gaining a personality and reflecting their environment. When something dies or fades away, we prune, replant and grow again.

If you could do tomorrow over again, would you?

Acknowledge to yourself that the factory job is dead. Having a factory job is not a natural state. It wasn't at the heart of being human until very recently. We've been culturally brainwashed.
Seth Godin

We are too focused on avoiding criticism and not enough on making a difference.

If you need to conceal your true nature to get in the door, understand that you'll probably have to conceal your true nature to keep that job.

Think big. Start small.

Image
Habits are more powerful than fears.
Seth Godin

Art is what we do when we're truly alive.
Seth Godin
Image
Here's the truth you have to wrestle with: the reason that art (writing, engaging, leading, all of it) is valuable is precisely why I can't tell you how to do it. If there were a map, there'd be no art, because art is the act of navigating without a map. Don't you hate that? I love that there's no map.

Without people pushing against your quest to do something worth talking about, it's unlikely to be worth the journey. Persist.
Seth Godin
Image
Make something happen today, before you go home, before the end of the week. Launch that idea, post that post, run that ad, call that customer. Go the edge, that edge you've been holding back from... and do it today. Without waiting for the committee or your boss or the market. Just go.

Initiative is the privilege of picking yourself.

Image
Your best customers are worth far more than your average customers.

Fear is the workout we give ourselves imagining what will happen if things don't work out. . . . Worry is our effort to imagine every possible way to avoid the outcome that is causing us fear, and failing that, to survive the thing that we fear if it comes to fruition.
