Image
How was your day? If your answer was fine, then I don't think you were leading.
Seth Godin
Image
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.
Seth Godin
Image
Gratitude and opportunity create more of the same.
Seth Godin
Image
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.

If you're different somehow and have made yourself unique, people will find you and pay you more.
