Don’t mistake assertiveness or eloquence for good ideas.

Stay true to yourself. Let your voice ring out, and don’t let anybody fiddle with it. Never turn down a good idea, but never take a bad idea. And meditate.

Don't let someone who gave up on their dreams talk you out of going after yours.

Don’t worry about people stealing your ideas. If your ideas are any good, you’ll have to ram them down people’s throats.

Encourage; Don’t Nitpick. Keep in mind that there’s no shortage of good, workable ideas, but that there’s a tremendous shortage of receptivity to ideas. Don’t be like one of those “wet blankets” that shot down the radio, the telephone, Federal Express, the personal computer, and NIKE shoes as “dumb ideas.

Bad ideas don’t die simply because they are intrinsically bad. You need people who will stand up and fight them, put themselves at risk, point out the weaknesses, and drive stakes through their hearts.

Don't let them drag you down by rumors just go with what you believe in.

Let no one persuade you by word or deed to do or say whatever is not best for you.

No good idea succeeds simply because it is a good idea. Good ideas must have champions — people willing to believe in them, push for them, fight for them, gain adherents and other champions, and press until they succeed.

Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice.

If you don't let technology help you, if you resist good ideas, you condemn yourself to dinosaurhood.

Don't allow yourself to be held hostage by the opinion of others.

When you find things you genuinely enjoy, don’t let anyone else make you feel bad about it.

Nearly every person who develops an idea works at it up to the point where it looks impossible, and then gets discouraged. That's not the place to become discouraged.
