Seth Godin Needs Quotations

If you use your money to create exceptional products and services, you won't need to spend it on advertising.

Care. Care more than you need to, more often than expected, more completely than the other guy.

If you demand that everything that happens be something you are adequately prepared for, I wonder if you’ve chosen never to leap in ways that we need you to leap. Once we embrace this chasm, then for the things for which we can never be prepared, we are of course, always prepared.

At least at first, the new thing is rarely as good as the old thing was. If you need the alternative to be better than the status quo from the very start, you'll never begin.

We do not need to teach students to embrace the status quo.

We need students who can learn how to learn, who can discover how to push themselves and are generous enough and honest enough to engage with the outside world to make those dreams happen.

Personalizatio n wasn't supposed to be a cleverly veiled way to chase prospects around the web, showing them the same spammy ad for the same lame stuff as everyone else sees. No, it is a chance to differentiate at a human scale, to use behavior as the most important clue about what people want and more important, what they need.

No more than six words on a slide. Ever. There is no presentation so complex that this rule needs to be broken.

We don't need to be taught to make art, but sometimes we need permission to do so. Following instructions is overrated.

You dont need to convince everyone. All you need to do is motivate people who choose to follow you.

We don't need more stuff, we need more humanity.

If you want to dig a big hole, you need to stay in one place.

Put aside your need for a step-by-step manual and instead realize that analogies are your best friend.

Go do something interesting. Ask if you need help.

It's not about you, it's about the next person. The single best use of a business book is to help someone else. Sharing what you read, handing the book to a person who needs it... pushing those around you to get in sync and to take action-that's the main reason it's a book, not a video or a seminar. A book is a souvenir and a container and a motivator and an easily leveraged tool. Hoarding books makes them worth less, not more.

What we most need in our lives, though, is something worth doing, worth it because we care.

You have everything you need to build something far bigger than yourself.

The devil doesn't need an advocate. The brave need supporters, not critics

What evidence would you need to see to change your mind about this?

You don't need more time in your day. You need to decide.

As our society gets more complex and our people get more complacent, the role of the jester is more vital than ever before. Please stop sitting around. We need you to make a ruckus.

If you need to conceal your true nature to get in the door, understand that you'll probably have to conceal your true nature to keep that job.
