“It's not enough to shelve your own competitive streak. You have to try, consciously, to help others succeed.

Helping someone else look good doesn't make me look worse. In fact, it often improves my own performance, particularly in stressful situations.”

You are all sleepwalkers, whether climbing creative peaks or slogging through some mundane routine for the thousandth time. You are all sleepwalkers.”

If the could should loud enough, they might bring the world back to its senses; they might laugh loud enough to raise the dead.”
