status-quo
Either you defend the status quo, or you invent the future.
pay-the-price people kind

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.
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.
drawing boards all-the-best
Isn't the drawing board the place where all the best work happens? It's not a bad thing to go back there. It's the entire point.
tomorrow speak
Speak up. Not just tomorrow, but every day.
internet interest connecting
The internet was supposed to homogenize everyone by connecting us all. Instead what it's allowed is silos of interest.
humanity stuff needs
We don't need more stuff, we need more humanity.
