Done Is Better Than Perfect.

But The Upside Of Painful Knowledge Is So Much Greater Than The Downside Of Blissful Ignorance.

There Is No Straight Path From Your Seat Today To Where You Are Going. Don't Try To Draw That Line. You Will Not Just Get It Wrong, You'll Miss Big Opportunities. And I Mean Big-like The Internet. Careers Are Not Ladders, Those Days Are Long Gone, But Jungle Gyms. Don't Just Move Up And Down, Don't Just Look Up, Look Backwards, Sideways Around Corners. Your Career And Your Life Will Have Starts And Stops And Zigs And Zags. Don't Stress Out About The White Space-the Path You Can't Draw- Because There In Lies Both The Surprises And The Opportunities.

Don't Make Decisions Too Far In Advance, Particularly Ones You're Not Even Conscious You're Making.

Real Empathy Is Sometimes Not Insisting That It Will Be Okay But Acknowledging That It Is Not.

There Is No Perfect Fit When You're Looking For The Next Big Thing To Do. You Have To Take Opportunities And Make An Opportunity Fit For You, Rather Than The Other Way Around. The Ability To Learn Is The Most Important Quality A Leader Can Have.
