"Instead of wondering when your next vacation is, maybe you should set up a life you don't need to escape from."
"The goal in blogging/ business/ inspiring non-fiction is to share a truth, or at least a truth as the writer sees it. To not just share it, but to spread it and to cause change to happen. You can do that in at least three ways: with research (your own or reporting on others), by building and describing conceptual structures, or with stories that resonate."

"You can listen to what people say, sure. But you will be far more effective if you listen to what people do."
"Forgive yourself for not being the richest, the thinnest, the tallest, the one with the best hair. Forgive yourself for not being the most successful, the cutest or the one with the fastest time. Forgive yourself for not winning every round. Forgive yourself for being afraid. But don’t let yourself off the hook, never forgive yourself, for not caring or not trying."
"Leadership is the art of giving people a platform for spreading ideas that work."
"The job isn't to catch up to the status quo; the job is to invent the status quo."
"As our society gets more complex and our people get more complacent, the role of the jester is more vital than ever before. Please stop sitting around. We need you to make a ruckus."
