Quote

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.

Habits are more powerful than fears.

No one knows more about the way you think than you do.
Seth Godin
Image
If it's work, we try to figure out how to do less, If it's art, we try to figure out how to do more
Seth Godin
Image
Every single important thing we do is something we didn't use to be good at, and in fact, might be something we used to fear.
Seth Godin
Image
The key to getting a reputation for being brilliant is actually being brilliant, not just acting like you are.
Seth Godin
Image
The reason you might choose to embrace the artist within you now is that this is the path to (cue the ironic music) security.

Cheap is the last refuge of a product developer or marketer who is out of great ideas.
Seth Godin
Image
Leadership is scarce because few people are willing to go through the discomfort required to lead.
Seth Godin

More and more people now have jobs that require them to confront the risk of appearing stupid on a regular basis.
Seth Godin
Image
A business owner is the boss, but it's a job, a place that is stable and profitable. An entrepreneur is an artist of sorts, throwing his/herself into impossible situations and seeking out problems that require heart and guts to solve. Both are fine, but choose.

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

Art is the work of a human, an individual seeking to make a statement, to cause a reaction, to connect. Art is something new, every time, and art might not work, precisely because it's new, because it's human and because it seeks to connect.

The problem with holding a grudge is that your hands are then too full to hold onto anything else. It might be the competition or a technology or the lousy things that someone did a decade ago. None of it is going to get better as a result of revisiting the grudge.

Finding new ways, more clever ways to interrupt people doesn't work.

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.
Seth Godin
Image
Gifts are not favors. If you expect something in return, it's not a gift.
Seth Godin
Image
Art is a personal gift that changes the recipient. The medium doesn't matter. The intent does.

As our society gets more complex and our people get more complacent, the role of the jester is more vital than ever before. Please stop sitting around. We need you to make a ruckus.

If you're going to invest a valuable asset (like time), go ahead and make it productive. Use a postit or two, or some index cards or a highlighter. Not to write down stuff so you can forget it later, but to create marching orders. It's simple: if three weeks go by and you haven't taken action on what you've written down, you wasted your time.

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.
