"It's not about what you're saying, it's about how you listen."

-- Gary Vaynerchuk

“Asceticism in most cases is either the result of a sordid imagination or of passion diverted from its natural course, and experience has shown that when the protection of public morals is entrusted to its votaries, the consequences are usually appalling.”
“Compassionate listening is to help the other side suffer less. If we realize that other people are the same people as we are, we are no longer angry at them.”
“Grit is not just simple elbow-grease term for rugged persistence. It is an often invisible display of endurance that lets you stay in an uncomfortable place, work hard to improve upon a given interest, and do it again and again.”

“A brave action is often followed by grief. Do not let my resistance to grief stop the brave action.”
“I think of myself as a producer who tries to bring the best out of everyone, whether that be an artist, songwriter or a publicist.”
“When we stop opposing reality, action becomes simple, fluid, kind, and fearless.”
“If a man can permanently establish his awareness in contact with that pure field (of consciousness), then problems wither away. It's a very simple thing. When the light comes, then where is the darkness?”
