Acknowledge to yourself that the factory job is dead. Having a factory job is not a natural state. It wasn't at the heart of being human until very recently. We've been culturally brainwashed.

More quotes by Seth Godin
That's your opportunity - to approach your work in a way that generates unique learning and interactions that are worth sharing.
Seth Godin
Everyone is not your customer.
Seth Godin
Every day I meet people who have so much to give but have been...frighten ed enough to hold it back. It's time to stop complying with the system and draw your own map. You have brilliance in you, your contribution is essential, and the art you create is precious. Only you can do it, and you must.
Seth Godin
If you speak up online and your ideas have currency, people are going to show up and want to connect with you. What we need more of are people with the guts and emotional labour to do this. The greatest shortage in today's society is an instinct to produce.
Seth Godin
Effort is its own reward if you allow it to be.
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
Please stop waiting for a map. We reward those who draw maps, not those who follow them.
Seth Godin
All motivation is self-motivation. Your family, your boss, or your co-workers can try to get your engine going, but until you decide what to accomplish, nothing will happen.
Seth Godin
What you do for a living is not be creative, what you do for a living is ship.
Seth Godin
The enemy of creativity... is fear. We're all born creative, it takes a little while to become afraid. A surprising insight: an enemy of fear is creativity. Acting in a creative way generates action, and action persuades the fear to lighten up.
Seth Godin
Listen to your fear but don't obey it.
Seth Godin
Art isn't only a painting. Art is anything that's creative, passionate, and personal. And great art resonates with the viewer, not only with the creator... Art is a personal gift that changes the recipient. The medium doesn't matter. The intent does. Art is a personal act of courage, something one human does that creates change in another.
Seth Godin
If we live in a world where information drives what we do, the information we get becomes the most important thing. The person who chooses that information has power.
Seth Godin
After you produce you can select. you can curate. you can censor. But for now, have bad ideas, lots and lots of bad ideas.
Seth Godin
Being aware of your fear is smart. Overcoming it is the mark of a successful person.
Seth Godin
Laptop computers dramatically increased the time people spend doing work. (The internet dramatically decreased it, so we're even).
Seth Godin
Canoeing was hard and scary, and the wind could blow you across the lake if you did it wrong. After a year of not doing it right, I could talk to people and get them to sit up straight, take different kinds of chances, to breathe differently, to engage in the moment in the boat. And I changed them, and I changed me in the process.
Seth Godin
The next thing you do today will be the most important thing on your agenda, because, after all, you're doing it next. Well, perhaps it will be the most urgent thing. Or the easiest. In fact, the most important thing probably isn't even on your agenda.
Seth Godin
Fitting in is a short-term strategy that gets you nowhere. Standing out is a long-term strategy that takes guts and produces results.
Seth Godin
When you can swim, who cares how deep the water is?
