it comes down to feelings

“Anybody can play. The note is only 20 percent. The attitude of the motherfucker who plays it is 80 percent.”

― Miles Davis

“What one generation accepts, the next generation assumes, and the next generation rejects.”

It is a human trait to organize things into categories. Inventing categories creates an illusion that there is an overriding rationale in the way that the world works.

Business, like life, is all about how you make people feel. It’s that simple, and it’s that hard.

Perfectionism rarely creates perfection. You procrastinate because you’re terrified of falling short. You abandon projects because they don’t live up to insurmountable standards. You spend more time frantically burying flaws than creating something authentic.
