The way I understand gifts is that the giver must make a sacrifice, create an uneven exchange, bring himself closer to the recipient, create change and do it all with the right spirit.

If you want to get in shape, go to the # gym every single day, change your clothes and take a shower. If you can do that every single day for a month, pretty soon you'll start doing something while you're there.
Seth Godin
Self sufficiency appears to be a worthy goal, but it's now impossible if you want to actually get anything done. All our productivity, leverage and insight comes from being part of a community, not apart from it. The goal, I think, is to figure out how to become more dependent, not less.
Seth Godin
You can game the social media in the short run, but not for long.
Seth Godin
Genius is the act of solving a problem in a way no one has solved it before.
Seth Godin
The person who fails the most wins.

You don't need a new plan for next year. You need a commitment.
Seth Godin
The only purpose of customer service is to change feelings.

Some people read business books looking for confirmation. I read them in search of disquiet. Confirmation is cheap, easy and ineffective. Restlessness and the scientific method, on the other hand, create a culture of testing and inquiry that can't help but push you forward.

... outsiders are way more likely to approach your organization with fabulous projects if they think they're likely to both get a good reception and succeed when they get to market.
Seth Godin
The best creative solutions don't come from finding good answers to the questions that are presented... They come from inventing new questions!
Seth Godin
Set a goal, and in small, consistent steps, work to reach it. Get support from your peers when you start flagging. Repeat. You will change.
Seth Godin
Change is not a threat, it's an opportunity. Survival is not the goal, transformative success is.
Seth Godin
There's no shortage of great ideas. There's a shortage of execution.
Seth Godin
Perfect can't possibly be the goal, we're left with generous, important and human instead.
Seth Godin
Every day I meet people who have so much to give but have been...frighten ed enough to hold it back. It's time to stop complying with the system and draw your own map. You have brilliance in you, your contribution is essential, and the art you create is precious. Only you can do it, and you must.
Seth Godin
If you believe that a given situation should make you unhappy, then it will, and the unhappiness will then reinforce the condition.
Seth Godin
Just as we don't spend a lot of time worrying about how all those poets out there are going to monetize their poetry, the same is true for most bloggers.
Seth Godin
If you try to delight the undelightable, you've made yourself miserable for no reason.
Seth Godin
It's entirely possible that there won't be a standing ovation at the end of your journey. That's okay. At least you lived.
Seth Godin
Little changes cost you. Big changes benefit you by changing the game, but only if you go first.
