The easiest way to thrive as an outlier is to avoid being one. At least among your most treasured peers. Surround yourself with people in at least as much of a hurry, at least as inquisitive, at least as focused as you are.

More quotes by Seth Godin
It's uncomfortable to challenge the status quo.
Seth Godin
My new favorite word is 'awkward.'...Th e reason we need to be in search of awkward is that awkward is the barrier between us and excellence, between where we are and the remarkable. If it were easy, everyone would have done it already, and it wouldn't be worth the effort.
Seth Godin
Competence is no longer a scarce commodity.
Seth Godin
All great programmers learn the same way. They poke the box. They code something and see what the computer does. They change it and see what the computer does. They repeat the process again and again until they figure out how the box works.
Seth Godin
All good ideas are terrible... Until people realize they are obvious. If you're not willing to live through the terrible stage, you'll never get to the obvious part.
Seth Godin
Debt creates stress, stress creates behaviors that don't lead to happiness.
Seth Godin
Organizations grow when they persuade a tiny cadre to be passionate, not when they touch millions with a mediocre message
Seth Godin
Competition and the market are like water, they go where they want
Seth Godin
I feel like I'm treating people as I'd like to be treated.
Seth Godin
Your positions on EVERYTHING are based on the story you tell yourself and not some universal fact from the universal fact database.
Seth Godin
As soon as we associate reading with a test, we've missed the point.
Seth Godin
It's rare to find a consistently creative or insightful person who is also an angry person. They can't occupy the same space, and if your anger moves in, generosity and creativity often move out. It's difficult to use revenge or animus to fuel great work.
Seth Godin
You can game the social media in the short run, but not for long.
Seth Godin
Art is when we do work that matters in a creative way, in a way that touches (people) and changes them for the better.
Seth Godin
Do you know what people want more than anything? They want to be missed. They want to be missed the day they don't show up. They want to be missed when they're gone.
Seth Godin
Many people believe that great designers get great clients. It's the other way around.
Seth Godin
In our desire to please everyone, it's very easy to end up being invisible or mediocre.
Seth Godin
The status quo is persistent and resistant. It exists because everyone wants it to. Everyone believes that what they've got is probably better than the risk and fear that come with change.
Seth Godin
The thing is, the future happens. Every single day, like it or not. Sure, tomorrow is risky, frightening and in some way represents one step closer to the end. But it also brings with it the possibility of better and the chance to do something that matters.
Seth Godin
Build it, and they will come only works in the movies. Social Media is a build it, nurture it, engage them, and they may come and stay.
