    Seth Godin
    “The job is what you do when you are told what to do. The job is showing up at the factory, following instructions, meeting spec, and being managed.

    Someone can always do your job a little better or faster or cheaper than you can.

    The job might be difficult, it might require skill, but it's a job.

    Your art is what you do when no one can tell you exactly how to do it. Your art is the act of taking personal responsibility, challenging the status quo, and changing people.

    I call the process of doing your art 'the work.' It's possible to have a job and do the work, too. In fact, that's how you become a linchpin.

    The job is not the work.”
    Seth Godin, Linchpin: Are You Indispensable?

    “Don't ever give up.
    Don't ever give in.
    Don't ever stop trying.
    Don't ever sell out.
    And if you find yourself succumbing to one of the above for a brief moment,
    pick yourself up, brush yourself off, whisper a prayer, and start where you left off.
    But never, ever, ever give up.”
    Richelle E. Goodrich, Eena, The Tempter's Snare

    Robert M. Pirsig
    “You are never dedicated to something you have complete confidence in. No one is fanatically shouting that the sun is going to rise tomorrow. They know it's going to rise tomorrow. When people are fanatically dedicated to political or religious faiths or any other kinds of dogmas or goals, it's always because these dogmas or goals are in doubt.”
    Robert M. Pirsig, Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance: An Inquiry Into Values

    Tim McGraw
    “People always ask me
    "Son what does it take
    To reach out and touch your dreams?"
    To them I always say

    Are you hungry?
    Are you thirsty?
    Is it a fire that burns you up inside?
    How bad do you want it?
    How bad do you need it?
    Are you eating, sleeping, dreaming
    With that one thing on your mind?
    How bad do you want it?
    How bad do you need it?
    Cause if you want it all
    You've got to lay it all out on the line”
    Tim McGraw, Tim McGraw: Like You Were Dying- Piano / Vocal / Chords

    Criss Jami
    “Every man has a specific skill, whether it is discovered or not, that more readily and naturally comes to him than it would to another, and his own should be sought and polished. He excels best in his niche - originality loses its authenticity in one's efforts to obtain originality.”

    Unshaken when I fall; that I may know

    That I may tell my heart that you begin
    Where passing I leave off, and fathom more.”

    “This is for you, all the women of the world
    Those who lived, all who ever will
    this is for your love, mine is yours
    Love is fate, I am here
    Because you know the meaning of life
    That begins and ends with a kiss
    We are knights in shining ardor, who toil for you
    And our children, it's a circle
    So they will know this truth
    Love is the sacred gospel, all we need to know
    As your son and lover, my spirit lives imbued
    With, from and by your wisdom and beauty
    I am here to pay honor and homage to your soul
    This is and will always be my devotion
    This I dedicate, because through you I become whole”
    Trevor McShane
