Seth Godin
The way you feel about giving money to good causes has a lot to do with the way you feel about money.
Seth Godin
If you could do tomorrow over again, would you?
Seth Godin
Many Things That Are True Are True Because You Believe Them.
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
Human beings, thanks to culture and genetics, are inclined to be pessimistic, fearful, skeptical and believers in conspiracy theories. We also don't like change.
Seth Godin
