SETH GODINPeople get good gigs because they stand up….You don’t get picked. Reject the tyranny of picked. Pick yourself.
SETH GODINOne option is to struggle to be heard whenever you’re in the room… Another is to be the sort of person who is missed when you’re not. The first involves making noise. The second involves making a difference.
SETH GODINDon’t create for the masses. Create for the people who are your kind of weird.
SETH GODINThe public square is more public than ever, but minds are rarely changed in 140 character bursts and by selfies.
SETH GODINYou don’t win an Olympic gold medal with a few weeks of intensive training.
SETH GODINPeople rarely buy what they need. They buy what they want.
SETH GODINQuit or be exceptional. Average is for losers.
SETH GODINDo your art. But don’t wreck your art if it doesn’t lend itself to paying the bills. That would be a tragedy.

SETH GODINAs 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.

SETH GODINThe best favors are worth doing for the doing, not because we’ll ever get paid back appropriately.
SETH GODIN
