wonder
What Wonder understood, that Otto did not, is that if your idea spreads, you win,
status-quo
Either you defend the status quo, or you invent the future.
doing-what-you-love loving-what-you-do important
Loving what you do is almost as important as doing what you love, especially if you need to make a living at it.
pay-the-price people kind
You have to pay the price to be in the right place at the right time often enough that people tend to see you as the regular kind.
thought-provoking innovation failure-is-not-an-option
Anyone who says failure is not an option has also ruled out innovation.
listening questioning ifs
If it's worth listening to, it's worth questioning until you understand it.
what-if trying stronger
But what if I fail? You will. A better question might be, ‘after I fail, what then?’ If you’ve chosen well, after you fail you will be one step closer to succeeding, you will be wiser and stronger and you almost certainly will be more respected by all of those that are afraid to try.
great-work uncomfortable
As you've probably discovered, great work makes us uncomfortable.
adjusting today chance
Today, not starting is far, far worse than being wrong. If you start, you've got a shot at evolving and adjusting to turn your wrong into a right. But if you don't start, you never get a chance.
long-walks bridges want
I learned that a long walk and calm conversation are an incredible combination if you want to build a bridge.
asking-why proud ships
Sign your work...If you're not proud of it, don't ship it. If you are, sign your work and own the results. We'll know who to thank. If you work for a place where work goes unsigned (internally, in particular) it's worth asking why.
lists would-be remarkable
Remarkable work is always not on the list, because if it was, it would be commonplace, not remarkable.
