Some people read business books looking for confirmation. I read them in search of disquiet. Confirmation is cheap, easy and ineffective. Restlessness and the scientific method, on the other hand, create a culture of testing and inquiry that can't help but push you forward.

The only people who get paid what they're worth are people who don't follow the instruction book, who create art, who are innovative, who work without a map.

Reputation is what people expect us to do next. It's their expectation of the quality and character of the next thing we produce or say or do. We control our actions (even when it feels like we don't) and our actions over time (especially when we think no one is looking) earn our reputation.

The only way to get what you're worth is to stand out, to exert emotional labor, to be seen as indispensable, and to produce interactions that organizations and people care deeply about.

If there's time for an emergency, why isn't there time for brilliance, generosity or learning?

Soon is not as good as now.

I define anxiety as experiencing failure in advance.

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.

It's far easier to put your future into someone else's hands than it is to slog your way forward, owning the results as you go.

If you need to conceal your true nature to get in the door, understand that you'll probably have to conceal your true nature to keep that job.

Take the long way. Do the hard work, consistently and with generosity and transparency. And then you won't waste time doing it over.

In a race, sooner or later there's a moment that separates the winner from those who don't win. That instant is your chance, the moment you've been waiting for.

Practice works because practice gives us a chance to relax enough to make smart choices.

Just about anything worth doing is worth doing better.
