More From Seth Godin

"don't believe me, don't believe yourself, and don't believe anybody else." don't believe me, because what i say is only truth for me. don't believe yourself, because most of the time what you tell yourself is only truth for you - especially when you tell yourself that you're not good enough, you're not intelligent enough, you're not beautiful enough - when you reject yourself before anybody else can reject you. and don't believe anybody else, because what they say is only truth for them.
Beautiful Believe Intelligent
I felt that, as time went on, an audience gets to know you and in a weird way, you kind of feel like you get to know the audience a little bit. when i'm doing stand-up gigs now, i feel like i'm doing gigs in front of people i know. i think that's the result of doing late-night shows for so long.

I try to keep performing as much as possible - i just like to. i used to take huge gaps off between gigs, now i just like to do stand-up gigs as much as i can.
Trying Gigs Gaps
I made mistakes. i can’t whine about it. i’m the one that messed up and i’m paying the consequences. however, if i am given a second chance, i won’t need a third chance. and to be honest with you, i picked the wrong vice. i should have picked alcohol. i should have picked drugs or i should have picked up beating up my wife or girlfriend because if you do those three, you get a second chance. they haven’t given too many gamblers second chances in the world of baseball.

One of the things that happened is i did a lot of shitty gigs. when you do a bunch of shitty bar gigs you have to get used to people yelling at you, you're used to thinking on the fly, to dealing with weird situations.
