I think the first - “Skill is only developed by hours and hours and hours of beating on your craft.” - is the most widely ignored one of all. People <em>like</em> to believe in geniuses and talent, but both of those notions are fallacies. Any "genius" is just someone who's invested a crazy amount of time into perfect their art. I think the last is also very profound - so often people go around trying to get one up on other people, or exact revenge. It truly is a waste of time. Thanks very much for posting that - it's wonderful to see someone so famous speak so passionately and inspirationally. Hey Mark,

[Ashlei,

Well, the Japanese have this tale that a giant catfish sleeps under the land of the rising sun. And every so often he/she gets angry and starts thrashing about. Voila, earthquakes.

Self-esteem is at the core of so many issues and in the way of true change. Without healthy self-esteem real change is tough to work on. Great place to start coaching. And she impressed me forever by her sense of adventure. Staying in a capsule hotel is something many of us Tokyo women want to experience but we don't have the guts to actually do it. [Jacinta, Aha! The perfect venue for our next ICA coaching get together :-) I haven't yet stayed in a capsule hotel...
