One of the biggest reasons I like coaching college ball is the kids. I feel I can impact players lives
As I'm getting older, I'm moving away from calculations and measurement. I'm trying to be more open to vulnerability and mistakes.
I have a lifetime project which consists of boxes and boxes filled with envelopes on which people have written my name. I've always thought of it as a kind of double portrait, and a portrait of our relationship, which in some cases means nothing. But it makes me feel connected.
Instead of imposing something, let it make itself.
Doing a job well is the thing. It's its own thing.
Maybe I don't think I'm touching people, but I am. Sometimes I'm sitting there at three in the morning, proofreading something, and I'm thinking, Is this really worth it? Or am I doing this only because my mother taught me never to give up? Then you realize, no, even if it doesn't come back to you, you are touching people.
Sometimes being an artist is a real drag. It can be incredibly bureaucratic.
I tell Allah I love Him immensely, immensely. But I tell Him I cannot be better, because of how the world is.
God is not something I think about but something I experience as an energy, a Presence. I do find it easier to pray to a female Presence or an androgynous Presence.
What is important, what I consider success, is that we make a contribution to our world.
So as I thought about it, the most important "tool" you can have today in business is insatiable curiosity. The minute you lose it, you're dead.
