Seth Godin
Perfect can't possibly be the goal, we're left with generous, important and human instead.
Seth Godin
The instinct to produce great work doesn't require a fancy notebook.
Seth Godin
An artist is someone who uses bravery, insight, creativity, and boldness to challenge the status quo. And an artist takes it personally.
Seth Godin
Go do something interesting. Ask if you need help.
Seth Godin
It's possible that your next frontier isn't to get more efficient, it's to get more brave.
Seth Godin
Learning is not done to you, it is something you choose to do.
Seth Godin
Positive thinking is hard. Worth it, though.
