Letting your customers set your standards is a dangerous game, because the race to the bottom is pretty easy to win. setting your own standards--and living up to them--is a better way to profit. not to mention a better way to make your day worth all the effort you put into it." -

More From Seth Godin

Only the mediocre are always at their best. if your standards are low, it is easy to meet those standards every single day, every single year. but if your standard is to be the best, there will be days when you fall short of that goal. it is okay to not win every game. the only problem would be if you allow a loss or a failure to change your standards. keep your standards intact, keep the bar set high, and continue to try your very best every day to meet those standards. if you do that, you can always be proud of the work that you do.

If you ask who are the customers of education, the customers of education are the society at large, the employers who hire people, things like that. but ultimately i think the customers are the parents. not even the students but the parents. the problem that we have in this country is that the customers went away. the customers stopped paying attention to their schools, for the most part.

All experiments that are related to the games when you have humans versus machines in the games - whether it's chess or "go" or any other game - machines will prevail not because they can solve the game. chess is mathematically unsolvable. but at the end of the day, the machine doesn't have to solve the game. the machine has to win the game. and to win the game, it just has to make fewer mistakes than humans. which is not that difficult since humans are humans and vulnerable, and we don't have the same steady hand as the computer.

I think it's very pretty. can it be pretty if no one thinks it's pretty? i think it's pretty. if you're the only one? that's pretty pretty. and what about the boys? don't you want them to think you're pretty? i wouldn't want a boy to think i was pretty unless he was the kind of boy who thought i was pretty.

It's the culture, not the blood. if you can go anywhere in the world and adopt these babies and put them into households that were already assimilated in america, those babies will grow up as american as any other baby with as much patriotism and love of country as any other baby. it's not about race. it's never been about race. in fact the struggles across this planet, we describe them as race, they're not race. they're culture based. it's a clash of culture, not the race. sometimes that race is used as an identifier.

I believe that every single human being is entitled to the protection of our laws, whether they can vote or not. whether they can speak or not. whether they can hire a lawyer or not. whether they have a birth certificate or not. and i think future generations will look back at this history of our country and call us barbarians for murdering millions of babies who we never gave them a chance to live.

Instead of the primitive raw material economy, we will create a smart economy generating unique knowledge, new useful things and technologies. instead of the archaic society, in which the leaders think and make decisions for everyone, we will become a country of intelligent, free and responsible people.

The iranians have a lousy government, so therefore their economy is lousy, even though they have significant oil revenues. so i am convinced that together, we can, with the french, with the british, with the germans and other countries, democracies around the world, we can affect iranian behavior. but have no doubt, but have no doubt that the iranians continue on the path to the acquisition of a nuclear weapon. and it is a threat not only in this region but around the world.
