Go ahead, do something impossible.
Seth Godin
Image
If you are deliberately trying to create a future that feels safe, you will willfully ignore the future that is likely.
Seth Godin
Image
Art is a personal act of courage, something one human does that creates change in another.
Seth Godin
Image
Courage doesn't always involve physical heroism in the face of death. It doesn't always require giant leaps worthy of celebration. Sometimes, courage is the willingness to speak the truth about what you see and to own what you say.
Seth Godin
Image
It's possible that your next frontier isn't to get more efficient, it's to get more brave.
Seth Godin
Image
Seek out habits that help you overcome fear or inertia. Destroy those that do the opposite.
Seth Godin
Image
Entertainment has seduced us into believing that we have a chance to live the life they live in the movies. Even the people in the movies don't live that life. It doesn't take 135 minutes to make a life, it takes almost a century. Everything doesn't depend on what happens in the next ninety seconds. Ever.

Image
Don't scale because you think there's a pot of gold over that rainbow. Scale because you're ready and eager to do heroic work, every day, forever.

If there's time for an emergency, why isn't there time for brilliance, generosity or learning?
Seth Godin
Image
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
Image
Quality is not an absolute measure. It doesn't mean 'deluxeness' or 'perfection'. It means keeping the promise the customer wants you to make.
Seth Godin
Image
Saying no to loud people gives you the resources to say yes to important opportunities.
Seth Godin
Image
Communication is the transfer of emotion.
Seth Godin
Image
The art, the new, the ability to connect the dots and to make an impact - sooner or later, that can only come from one who creates, not from a teacher and not from a book.
Seth Godin
Image
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
If you take action, you will be judged. There's no way around it. The alternative, of course, is much safer. To be ignored. Up to you.
Seth Godin
Image
The problem with taking offense is that it's really hard to figure out what to do with it after you're done using it. Better to just leave it on the table and walk away. Umbrage untaken quietly disappears.
Seth Godin
Image
... outsiders are way more likely to approach your organization with fabulous projects if they think they're likely to both get a good reception and succeed when they get to market.
Seth Godin
Image
If you can influence the outcome, do the work. If you can't influence the outcome, ignore the possibility. It's merely a distraction.
Seth Godin

Things that look like shortcuts are actually detours (disguised as less work).
