As soon as we associate reading with a test, we've missed the point.
Seth Godin
Image
If you hear my idea but don't believe it, that's not your fault it's mine. If you see my new product but don't buy it, that's my failure, not yours. If you attend my presentation and you're bored, that's my fault too.

Do you believe in what you do? Every day? It turns out that belief happens to be a brilliant strategy.

The minute there's a map, there is no art. Paint by numbers is not art. Paint by numbers is a mechanical activity.
Seth Godin
Image
Care. Care more than you need to, more often than expected, more completely than the other guy.
Seth Godin
Image
What I mean by art is the human act of doing something that connects us to someone else
