When we give someone
advice
then find ourselves feeling
frustrated
or angry
for not following
our advice
ponder the possibility
that we have yet to recover
from a pain we incurred
in our past
and projecting ourselves
on to others.

The moment
we feel like we have
so much work to do
may be the very moment
we need to step back
and actually scope out
the landscape
as opposed to
jumping in
and getting to work.

One way to notice
that we’re genuinely
innovating
is to notice
that we don’t know
what we’re doing.

If we know
what we’re doing
we’re probably just
following the steps
of manufacturing.

There
is a world of a difference
between trying to persuade
and persuasion emerging
as a byproduct.

There is a world of a difference
between trying to help
and helpfulness emerging
as a byproduct.

The day our employees stop complaining
is not necessarily the day
they no longer have complaints.

It may be the day
they have stopped
caring.

Making mistakes
is often times the only way
to learn.

you are able to achieve
without learning
but when what you didnt learn
because you were busy achieving
becomes relevant
unless you know what to look for
you will make the mistake and learn from it

We sometimes say
we partnered up
because our partner’s skills
complemented
our own,
when what we really mean
is that we were afraid
that without our partner’s skills
we would
fail.
