The art, the new, the ability to connect the dots and to make an impact - sooner or later, that can only come from one who creates, not from a teacher and not from a book.

More quotes by Seth Godin
One key to moving forward is knowing what to leave behind.
Seth Godin
Listen to your fear but don't obey it.
Seth Godin
The sound of a small bell during a dark night, is louder than the din of traffic outside your window during rush hour. Surprise and differentiation have far more impact than noise does.
Seth Godin
The next thing you do today will be the most important thing on your agenda, because, after all, you're doing it next. Well, perhaps it will be the most urgent thing. Or the easiest. In fact, the most important thing probably isn't even on your agenda.
Seth Godin
Figure out the people part and the technology gets a whole lot simpler.
Seth Godin
Doing justice to the work is your task, not setting a world record.
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
Networking that matters is helping people achieve their goals.
Seth Godin
The key to success is to find a way to stand out--to be the purple cow in a field of monochrome Holsteins.
Seth Godin
Without people pushing against your quest to do something worth talking about, it's unlikely to be worth the journey. Persist.
Seth Godin
Our job is to make change. Our job is to connect to people, to interact with them in a way that leaves them better than we found them, more able to get where they'd like to go. Every time we waste that opportunity, every page or sentence that doesn't do enough to advance the cause is waste.
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
No one can force you to stand up, speak up and make a difference. But if you back off and play along, please understand that whatever happens happened, at least in part, because you acquiesced.
Seth Godin
You don't need a new plan for next year. You need a commitment.
Seth Godin
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.
Seth Godin
What you do for a living is not be creative, what you do for a living is ship.
Seth Godin
Lack of resources (payroll), time and competing priorities are why so many nonprofits haven't done well. It's that simple.
Seth Godin
Even good excuses, really good ones, don't help very much. Explanations, on the other hand, are both scarce and useful. And accurate forecasts and insightful intuition are priceless.
Seth Godin
Don't create for the masses. Create for the people who are your kind of weird.
Seth Godin
Life is not about gutting out every situation. It's about identifying opportunity or the lack thereof. If your pride is all that is standing in the way of quitting, quit. The right people won't care and the wrong people don't matter. If you know you're on the right path, persevere though the pain. It will be worth it.
