From the Icarus Deception by Seth Godin

A few notes from a book which expressed so boldly some of my thoughts and left me impressed and motivated to strive for brilliance...

"Your ability to follow instructions is not the secret to your success."

"We settle for the safety zone that embraced authority and compliance."

"Most people don't believe they are capable of initiative...almost all people believe they are capable of editing, giving feedback or merely criticizing."

"Perfect is boring, not remarkable."

"If not enough people doubt you, you are not making a difference."

"You are capable of far more than you've done so far. (...) We have been brainwashed by school, indoctrinated by industrial propaganda, and mesmerized by the popular media into believing that compliance is not only safe but necessary. (...) You MUST leap into the void."
