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.

More From Seth Godin

Think of yourself as a container for wealth. if your container is small and your money is big, what's going to happen? you will lose it. your container will overflow and the excess money will spill out all over the place. you simply cannot have more money than the container. therefore you must grow to be a big container so you cannot only hold more wealth but also attract more wealth. the universe abhors a vacuum and if you have a very large money container, it will rush in to fill the space.

Read, read, read, read, read, read, read, read, read, read, read, read, read...if you don't read, you will never be a filmmaker.

Are you a person—with volition and maybe some stubbornness and at least the capacity if not the actual determination to do something surprising—or are you a tool? a tool just serves its user. it’s only as good as the skill of its user, and it’s not good for anything else. so if you want to accomplish something special—something more than you can do for yourself—you can’t use a tool. you have to use a person and hope the surprises will work in your favor. you have to use something that’s free to not be what you had in mind.
Determination Skills Mind
I am a product of endless books. my father bought all the books he read and never got rid of any of them. there were books in the study, books in the drawing room, books in the cloakroom, books (two deep) in the great bookcase on the landing, books in a bedroom, books piled as high as my shoulder in the cistern attic...in the seemingly endless rainy afternoons i took volume after volume from the shelves. i had always the same certainty of finding a book that was new to me as a man who walks into a field has of finding a new blade of grass.

One of the best things i ever did was to train in a practical skill. i love computers and they've become such a part of life, especially to the world of design. but it's important to understand that they are a tool, as much as a hammer or a saw is a tool. computers don't help you design. there needs to be more emphasis on training young designers in how to build things. a good writer needs a good vocabulary. a good designer needs to understand his materials and processes. you can't, as a successful designer, pretend to get any respect if you don't know how things are made.
Successful Design Training
We said that a single injustice, a single crime, a single illegality, particularly if it is officially recorded, confirmed, a single wrong to humanity, a single wrong to justice and to right, particularly if it is universally, legally, nationally, commodiously accepted, that a single crime shatters and is sufficient to shatter the whole social pact, the whole social contract, that a single legal crime, a single dishonorable act will bring about the loss of ones honor, the dishonor of a whole people. it is a touch of gangrene that corrupts the entire body.

It is never too late to master your weaknesses.
Loss Weakness Too Late
The weird, weird thing about devastating loss is that life actually goes on. when you're faced with a tragedy, a loss so huge that you have no idea how you can live through it, somehow, the world keeps turning, the seconds keep ticking.
Grief Loss Ideas
Grief does not change you, hazel. it reveals you.
Change Grief Loss
There is no god, cry the masses more and more vociferously; and with the loss of god man loses his sense of values — is, as it were, massacred because he feels himself of no account.
