    Seth Godin
    “Here's the truth you have to wrestle with: the reason that art (writing, engaging, leading, all of it) is valuable is precisely why I can't tell you how to do it.

    Seth Godin
    “The job is what you do when you are told what to do. The job is showing up at the factory, following instructions, meeting spec, and being managed.

    Someone can always do your job a little better or faster or cheaper than you can.

    The job might be difficult, it might require skill, but it's a job.

    Your art is what you do when no one can tell you exactly how to do it. Your art is the act of taking personal responsibility, challenging the status quo, and changing people.

    I call the process of doing your art 'the work.' It's possible to have a job and do the work, too. In fact, that's how you become a linchpin.

    The job is not the work.”
    Seth Godin, Linchpin: Are You Indispensable?

    “Essentialism is not about how to get more things done; it’s about how to get the right things done. It doesn’t mean just doing less for the sake of less either. It is about making the wisest possible investment of your time and energy in order to operate at our highest point of contribution by doing only what is essential.”
    Greg Mckeown, Essentialism: The Disciplined Pursuit of Less

    Nate Silver
    “Distinguishing the signal from the noise requires both scientific knowledge and self-knowledge: the serenity to accept the things we cannot predict, the courage to predict the things we can, and the wisdom to know the difference.”
