More quotes by Seth Godin
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
What are you working on? If someone asks you that, are you excited to tell them the answer? If you're not, you're wasting away.
Seth Godin
Competence is no longer scarce.
Seth Godin
We've greatly exaggerated the risk of sinking, without celebrating the value of swimming.
Seth Godin
We are leaving the industrial economy and entering the connection economy.
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.
Seth Godin
The enemy of creativity... is fear. We're all born creative, it takes a little while to become afraid. A surprising insight: an enemy of fear is creativity. Acting in a creative way generates action, and action persuades the fear to lighten up.
Seth Godin
Don't try to be the 'next'. Instead, try to be the other, the changer, the new.
Seth Godin
I'm not a psychopath-I'm wearing a tie!
Seth Godin
I wonder if real art comes when you build the thing that they don't have a prize for yet.
Seth Godin
This notion that it is up to each person to innovation in some way flies in the face of the industrial age, but you know what, the industrial age is over.
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
Here's the thing: The book that will most change your life is the book you write.
Seth Godin
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.
Seth Godin
Competition and the market are like water, they go where they want
Seth Godin
Excellence isn’t about working extra hard to do what you’re told. It’s about taking the initiative to do work you decide is worth doing.
Seth Godin
Most people have been brainwashed into believing that their job is to copyedit the world, not to design it.
Seth Godin
Sometimes, we're so focused on being consistent that we also lower the bar on amazing. After all, the thinking goes, if we can't be amazing all the time, better to reset the expectation to merely good. Which robs us of the ability to (sometimes) be amazing.
Seth Godin
Will you succeed because you are more well-rounded than others? Because you fit in better than everyone else? Bloody unlikely. We succeed when we are trusted to be the best at what we do.
Seth Godin
If you take action, you will be judged. There's no way around it. The alternative, of course, is much safer. To be ignored. Up to you.
